What is dental CT scanning?
Scanning of computer tomography (CT), often used in medical practices that help in the treatment of cancer and heart disease, is becoming increasingly becoming an important technology used in dentures that help dentists perform complicated oral operations and procedures. Dental scanning CT is a three -dimensional rendering that offers a detailed image of the area scanned inside the mouth. Dentists using CT scanning are able to take images from different angles and, due to the high level of detail, are able to detect details such as nerve endings and sinus cavities before surgery, thus alleviating potential complications during and after the procedure. Specifically, the dental CT scan is used for effective but safe care of the dental patient.
While dental CT scan works similarly to X -ray, there are differences in an application that results in a more detailed picture from different angles. X -ray rays rely on one shiftH radiation that goes through the target and portrays the picture in the film. On the other hand, CT scan uses several small outbursts of radiation, scattered from different angles towards the target area, which portrays pictures of details from different angles on the film. Then the dentist is able to explore the CT scanning film and get a better understanding of the patient's oral structure than he or she with the X -ray.
As with X -rays, patients undergoing dental CT scan will have to prepare adequately to avoid any interference with the technology that could make the interpretation of the resulting images. The dentist usually provides instructions to the patient before the examination starts. Patients are usually required to remove all metal objects before starting, including any glasses. If the patient wears prostheses or bridges that can be removed from the mouth, the dentist will also ask for the Be also removed. Lead aprons are often pushedVáani that help protect the patient's internal organs from radiation exposure.
Dental CT scanning and CT scanning are generally not controversial. Concerns were publicly raised about the possible side effects of the exhibition more explosions of radiation. For this reason, most governments have introduced regulations for controlling CT scanning machines. In addition, most dentists will not use the machine, except when a detailed image is needed to help in a complicated procedure. Therefore, most dental patients are not subject to CT scanner.
