    In addition, payment to dental professionals is based on the CDT code(s) reported on the ADA Claim Form, so using the most current codes helps to maximize reimbursement and minimize audit liability. [6] In the near future, dental professionals will be required to use diagnosis codes in support of the procedures and services they provide.

  3. Intraoral scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraoral_scanner

    Intraoral scanners are devices used in dentistry which create digital scans of the teeth and soft tissue anatomy. [1] These devices replace the use of dental putty impressions by using a light source and image sensors to record the tissues inside the mouth accurately and create a virtual alternative to traditional impression plaster models [1]

  4. OCT Biomicroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCT_Biomicroscopy

    OCT Biomicroscopy is the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in place of slit lamp biomicroscopy to examine the transparent axial tissues of the eye. [1] Traditionally, ophthalmic biomicroscopy has been completed with a slit lamp biomicroscope that uses slit beam illumination and an optical microscope to enable stereoscopic, magnified, cross-sectional views of transparent tissues in the ...

  5. Optical coherence tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coherence_tomography

    A high-resolution spectral-domain OCT scan (3×3 mm) of a dry age-related macular degeneration eye showing geographic atrophy and drusen in macula on both cross-sectional and en face fly-through. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technique with most of its applications in medicine and biology.

    The key to any diagnosis is thorough medical, dental, social and psychological history as well as assessing certain lifestyle risk factors that may be involved in disease processes. This is followed by a thorough clinical investigation including extra-oral and intra-oral hard and soft tissues. [5]

  7. Retinal scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_scan

    A retinal scan is performed by casting an unperceived beam of low-energy infrared light into a person’s eye as they look through the scanner's eyepiece. This beam of light traces a standardized path on the retina. Because retinal blood vessels absorb light more readily than the surrounding tissue, the amount of reflection varies during the scan.

  8. Anterior segment of eyeball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_segment_of_eyeball

    The anterior segment or anterior cavity [1] is the front third of the eye that includes the structures in front of the vitreous humour: the cornea, iris, ciliary body, and lens. [2] [3] Within the anterior segment are two fluid-filled spaces: the anterior chamber between the posterior surface of the cornea (i.e. the corneal endothelium) and the ...

    The optic foramen is the opening to the optic canal.The canal is located in the sphenoid bone; it is bounded medially by the body of the sphenoid and laterally by the lesser wing of the sphenoid.
