Üsküdar University Dental Hospital provides services by utilizing the possibilities of technology. In our hospital, dental treatments are performed under anesthesia and sedation in our operating room equipped with technological devices. The patient and their relatives, the dentist, and the anesthesiologist decide together on general anesthesia or sedation applications. The duration of the procedure to be performed, surgical depth, the patient's internal medical conditions, and preferences are the determining factors.
Our hospital is equipped with devices such as intraoral cameras, dental volumetric tomography, and panoramic imaging systems featuring up-to-date technology that allow for modern dentistry practices. With a patient-oriented preventive dentistry approach, the entire oral health process from infancy to adulthood is monitored by our specialists.
Intraoral Camera
In addition to visual-tactile examination and radiographs for the early diagnosis of caries, the use of intraoral cameras enables the visualization of minor changes in dental hard tissues, the acquisition of more reliable data, and the reduction of the subjectivity of diagnosis to achieve more objective results; thus, preventive and arresting measures prevent unnecessary restorations in dentistry.
Dental Volumetric Tomography
Panoramic radiographs are the most frequently used radiography technique in modern dentistry. However, in cases where 3-dimensional examinations are necessary, 2-dimensional panoramic radiographs are inadequate. Dental tomography is used to image the maxillofacial region in three dimensions. It is an advanced examination. It is used for many purposes such as implant planning, detection of maxillofacial cysts and tumors, and the position of impacted teeth. With dental tomography imaging, bone and soft tissue details that cannot be detected on standard X-ray films can be seen. The dental tomography device ensures that the targeted region can be imaged from the desired angle and from all directions. These high-detail cross-sections serve as a guide in all types of treatments. In our hospital, images with high detail and measurement accuracy of the head and neck region can be obtained with the MYRAY Hyperion X9 Pro brand dental tomography device.
Panoramic X-Ray
Panoramic radiography is a technique that enables a single image of the lower and upper jaws together with the teeth and adjacent anatomical structures and pathologies to be obtained. The low radiation dose is one of its greatest advantages. It assists the physician in detecting jaw fractures, the position of wisdom teeth, large lesions and bone diseases, and retained root fragments. It is frequently used as an initial evaluation image. The MYRAY Hyperion X5 brand panoramic radiography device is used in our hospital.
Central Sterilization Unit
It is our special unit where the instruments used in the clinics are washed, cleaned, packaged, barcoded, and sterilized. Instruments kept in special solutions inside special instrument containers in the clinics are collected by the CSU (Central Sterilization Unit), washed in special washing machines, and made ready for reuse by undergoing sterilization procedures in devices called autoclaves. All instruments used in our hospital are recorded and tracked. In our institution, which places utmost importance on patient and employee safety, sterilization processes are managed meticulously.
Digital Programs
Painless and aesthetic treatments can be provided to patients using technological scanning and milling devices called CAD/CAM. Thanks to digital dentistry, dental crowding in patients with appropriate indications can be treated without the need for brackets and wires. Performing intraoral scans with a camera provides personalized clear aligners, enabling comfortable orthodontic treatment without affecting the person's aesthetic appearance.
Personalized smile design, porcelain veneers (porcelain laminate), and full ceramic crowns constitute the main fields of application of CAD/CAM systems. Using digital impression technology in such aesthetic applications also contributes to long-term gingival health, making the aesthetic result much more durable.
After a scan performed before any intervention is made to the teeth, a smile design is created digitally, and how it will look when finished, even before the treatment starts, is planned by the patient and the physician taking into consideration the person's facial form, aesthetic criteria, and personal expectations. Detailed photographs and video footage are utilized at this stage. The treatment process begins in compliance with the made plan, and the person quickly attains a new smile.
