The Importance of 3D CT-Scan for Dental Implant Surgery
What is the importance of 3D CT-Scan for Dental Implant Surgery? 3D CT-Scan Dental Imaging in Thantakit Dental Center was one of the pioneers in Southeast Asia and even Asia. It’s one of the first in the region to have its own cone beam CT scanner for use in dental implant surgery. This technology has a wide range of applications, but it’s mostly and particularly used in assisting the dental implant procedure in tandem with 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM).
At any rate, Thantakit dentists ensure patients that the implant they’re getting is precisely placed in a safe manner. There are fewer adjustments needed in terms of crown height or issues in gum pain due to ill-fitting, loose, or crooked implants.
What Is a Dental Implant and Its Link to The 3D CT Scan?
A dental implant is a dental device made of foreign, alloplastic material that’s embedded unto the jawbone beneath the mucosal layer or beyond the gums. This is done in order to better support a removable or fixed dental prosthesis, giving it a more natural feel like a real healthy tooth implanted unto the tooth socket.
Here are other things to know:
Rising Popularity: Dental implants are becoming immensely popular nowadays because of their ability to replace the permanent teeth you’ve lost.
Permanent Restorations: Dental implants provide more permanent restorations that don’t interfere with the function of your mouth or speech as well as compromise your self-esteem.
Imaging Techniques: Pre-surgical imaging techniques like digital scans, 3D scans, and surgical templates, all help the dentist in placing the implants precisely without endangering you or the healthiness of your mouth.
Standard to Complex: The imaging modalities at the disposal of the dentist vary from standard projections found in a typical dental clinic to complex radiographic technique you can only get in dental labs or radiology centers. (To be continued)
