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]
Photography (extraoral and intraoral) Practice and patient record management software – including digital patient education e.g. Thalamus Patient Education; Shade matching; Diagnodent; DEXIS CariVu; Dental lasers; The Wand – used to carry anesthesia; Digital X-rays (includes both direct sensors and indirect phosphor plate systems)
Dental radiographs, commonly known as X-rays, are radiographs used to diagnose hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities.. A radiographic image is formed by a controlled burst of X-ray radiation which penetrates oral structures at different levels, depending on varying anatomical densities, before striking the film or sensor.
Instead of X-ray film, digital radiography uses a digital image capture device. This gives advantages of immediate image preview and availability; elimination of costly film processing steps; a wider dynamic range, which makes it more forgiving for over- and under-exposure; as well as the ability to apply special image processing techniques ...
Intraoral cameras (IOCs) are cameras used by dentists or doctors to show a patient the interior of their mouth, as an alternative to using a mirror. They were first introduced in 1989 and are now widely used in dental offices .
Radiography is an imaging technique using X-rays, gamma rays, or similar ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation to view the internal form of an object.Applications of radiography include medical ("diagnostic" radiography and "therapeutic radiography") and industrial radiography.
A panoramic radiograph is a panoramic scanning dental X-ray of the upper and lower jaw.It shows a two-dimensional view of a half-circle from ear to ear. Panoramic radiography is a form of focal plane tomography; thus, images of multiple planes are taken to make up the composite panoramic image, where the maxilla and mandible are in the focal trough and the structures that are superficial and ...
Fish bone pierced in the upper esophagus. Right image without contrast medium, left image during swallowing with contrast medium. To obtain an image with any type of image detector the part of the patient to be X-rayed is placed between the X-ray source and the image receptor to produce a shadow of the internal structure of that particular part of the body.
