3-dimensional x-ray DVT

This is a three-dimensional imaging procedure (X-ray) which exposes the patient to much less radiation than, for example, a computer tomograph (CT), thanks to the latest technology. The radiation dose can also be reduced by restricting the field of vision. With the “ultra low dose” protocol of our device, the effective patient dose values of 2-dimensional devices are reached or partially undercut!

The DVT is used when conventional two-dimensional X-ray images do not provide enough information for a diagnosis or to precisely plan an intervention.

Examples:

• determination of the positional relationship of nerves or paranasal sinuses to wisdom teeth or other displaced/retained teeth/ planning of their removal
• presentation of the anatomy of root canals with complex root treatments or revisions of root treatments
• dental implant planning (increased safety, accurate navigation)
• presentation of temporomandibular joints and maxillary sinuses
• presentation of jaw and tooth fractures
• presentation of other pathological changes (tumours etc.)

Your advantages as a patient:

• best 3-dimensional imaging, thus greater reliability in diagnosis and treatment without additional referral
• quicker decision regarding the choice of therapy and thus prevention of major damage
• increased safety during surgical procedures thanks to precise advance planning
• low radiation dose despite 3-dimensional imaging
