How can modern imaging techniques help us?


Dr. Dániel Hős, a dentist, gives an overview of how modern imaging techniques help us in our work, in connection with our previous blog.

Modern imaging techniques such as CT scans, panoramic X-rays, oral cavity scans and imaging videos are a big step forward in dentistry. These techniques help us and our patients in many ways to diagnose, treat and monitor dental and oral problems.

Let’s look at how modern imaging can help us maintain healthy teeth and oral cavity:

1. Accurate diagnosis

CT scans, panoramic X-rays and oral scans allow us to make a thorough and accurate diagnosis of dental and oral health problems. These imaging procedures allow us to see detailed, accurate images of the teeth, jaw and gums, which helps us to identify and treat potential problems more quickly.

2. Preparation of a management plan

Modern imaging techniques allow us to carry out a thorough, comprehensive evaluation of the teeth and their environment, which allows us to create a personalised treatment plan. The findings from these procedures help us to determine which specialists and which dental interventions are needed during treatment, so that the patient can be treated most effectively and efficiently.

3. Monitoring treatment

Imaging techniques help us to monitor the effectiveness of treatment. For example, X-rays allow dentists to monitor the progress of orthodontic treatment or to check the position of implants, the status of fillings, the condition of the root canal. This allows for quick and timely intervention and correction.

4. Minimum exposure

The technologies used in modern imaging procedures now mean minimal radiation exposure for patients. This means that the radiation exposure during image acquisition is lower, making these procedures safer.

5. More effective communication with our patients

Modern imaging techniques allow us to show patients the problems in detail and explain the treatments they need based on what they see. This helps patients make decisions about treatment based on what they see and hear.

6. Better communication between the professional team

Through imaging, doctors and other dental professionals can easily share and consult about patient treatment. This promotes better collaboration and more effective treatment, which is crucial for restoring patients’ dental health.

Overall, modern imaging techniques contribute significantly to the efficiency of dental care and to improving patients’ dental and oral health. These procedures offer accurate diagnosis, planning and treatment options, while minimising radiation exposure and supporting patient education.
