Implant diagnostics

Implant diagnostics

The bone available, its quality and any individual peculiarities are known before the procedure begins. On the computer the dentist can move through the bone before the operation and determine the length, the angle, the implant type and the ideal position on screen. The entire procedure can be planned virtually down to the last detail.

The course of the nerve in the lower jaw, the sinus floor in the upper jaw and the roots of the adjoining teeth can all be imaged exactly. The advantage of cone beam computed tomography is a markedly lower radiation dose than conventional computed tomography while offering very high resolution. A CBCT scan needs a fraction of the dose of an older technology such as CT.

As new techniques are introduced, treatment concepts can become ever less invasive. The development of digital pre-implant diagnostics has widened the possibilities for planning and carrying out an implant restoration.
