What are different types of dental display?
From a dental depiction, the dentist allows you to be proactive in dental health care by seeing potential problems before they become visible or painful for the patient. Both the patient and the dentist benefit from capturing the potential problem in the early stages. There are two main types of dental display techniques that are used for diagnostic purposes: conventional X -rays and computer tomography (CT). The most common X -rays used in dental displaying are either intraoral or extraoral, depending on whether the X -ray film is inside or outside the mouth, and are classified by what they show either the bite of X -rays, periapical X -rays, or occlusive X -rays.
The intraoral X -ray, which is made with a film inside the mouth, is the most common type. This type of X -ray makes it possible to see the details of the tooth, roots and jaws. It can also be used to view the teeth that develop.
Bitewing X -rays withE focus on the crowns of teeth in one part of the mouth and are used to check for tooth decay, disintegration of bone density and gum disease. The periapical X -ray shows the entire teeth in one section on the upper or bottom of the mouth and can show any problems with the root or bone. The third type of X -ray of intraoral dental display is occlusted style that shows the entire development of the teeth and their location.
Extraoral X -ray is taken from the outside of the mouth. This type does not have the detail of intraoral X -ray, but is very useful to find potential teeth and jaw problems. Extraoral X -ray also finds details about the affected teeth and provides details about the relationship between the relationship between the jaws and teeth and the potential problems that could exist between them. One type of X -ray of extraoral dental display is a panoramic type that shows the entire mouth. The X -ray Tomogram shows only a specific part.
sometimes useful for dentists to see the whole head for diagnosis. In these cases, cefalometric projection is used. Orthodontists often use this type of X -ray to develop their treatment plan for the patient.
In some patients, the dentist orders X -ray sialography to seek glands problems. This type of X -ray requires the use of a dye called Radiopaque contrasting agent. The dye allows the soft tissue of the glands to appear in the film.
The last main tool used by the dentist for diagnostic purposes is CT scan. This type of scan allows you to see the inside of the head in a three -dimensional image. This type of test is usually performed in a hospital environment instead of dental surgery.
