Dental Volumetric Tomography (DVT) is an advanced imaging technology that provides three-dimensional imaging of the teeth, jawbones, sinuses, and surrounding anatomical structures. By offering more detailed information compared to traditional two-dimensional X-rays, it helps make diagnosis and treatment planning more precise.
Panoramic radiographs are the most commonly used radiography technique in modern dentistry. However, in cases where 3-dimensional examinations are necessary, 2-dimensional panoramic radiographs are insufficient. Dental tomography, which is used for the three-dimensional imaging of the maxillofacial region, is applied for many purposes such as implant planning and the localization of impacted teeth.
Thanks to this technology, which is particularly preferred prior to implant applications, evaluation of impacted teeth, orthodontic planning, temporomandibular joint examinations, and surgical procedures, physicians can examine the treatment area in detail from different angles.
Advantages
- Provides three-dimensional and highly detailed imaging.
