The Dental CT Scanner

We pre-plan our implant surgery using our own state-of-the-art CT scanner. Dental practises throughout the London area refer patients to us so they can provide them with the best possible pre and post dental care.

 

A Dental CT scanner allows you to:

• Observe detailed anatomical structure
• Avoid damage to sensitive structure such as nerves in the process of implant surgery.
• Check impacted teeth positions accurately.
• Plan pre-implant surgery effectively
• Reduce surgery time as a result of more accurate diagnoses
• Get patient's consent and confidence that you have selected the right treatment plan.

Observation of Detailed Anatomical Structure

MPR allows viewing of sliced images (Min 0.1mm) from various directions and angles. Allows checking and rotating of 3D structures on 3D image capture screen.

 

 

Multi-Planar Reconstruction - The image can be confirmed through viewing the slices from the different angles. Furthermore, by adjusting a single planar image, the other 3 images will show the corresponding changes.

Avoiding Damage to Sensitive Structure

The alveolar nerve is at significant risk during all stages of surgery. Therefore, extra care must be taken during implant surgery to avoid damage to nerves. Viewing the cross-sectional image allows confirmation of anatomical structure & actual position.

 

 

Cross-Sectional View - is the most essential function of CT. Slicing can be done from any direction. It is possible to make a cross sectional path on any MPR window including 3D image.

Checking of Impacted Teeth Position Accurately

Impact tooth is shown to be in contact with inferior alveolar canal. But cross-sectional image from CT clearly shows it is separated from inferior alveolar canal.

 

 

3D Image - Verification of intra oral structure by 3D rotation and fine tuning. All CT images can be turned and rotated in any angle and is able to check both structure and soft tissue. 3D volume rendered image is very effective for patients' clear understanding.

Planning Pre-implant Surgery Effectively

Dentist and specialists can study their cases repeatedly and modify the virtual surgical implant placement until they are fully satisfied with the plan.

Reduced Surgery Time

Pre-verified surgery plan through implant simulation with accurate anatomical information of oral cavity and maxillofacial regions creates a higher level of confidence in surgery.

Getting Patient's Confidence

Presenting implant simulation with 3D images provides easier understanding of information for patients and improving patient compliance.
