Oral Diagnosis

Oral Diagnosis
Explanation

The word Diagnosis, which comes from the Greek, means the definition of diseases caused by objective and subjective symptoms. Oral Diagnosis, on the other hand, is the diagnosis process after examining the x-rays of the patient’s oral region and performing a detailed intraoral examination. At this stage, the first aim is to determine the source of the patient’s primary complaint. In addition, the current situation of the patient should be considered as a whole, and in this way, not only the existing but also the potential problem areas that are likely to cause problems in the future should be determined. In this way, early diagnosis of the problems and preventive and preventive treatments to be applied will prevent larger problems in the future and will make the treatment both simpler and more economical.

RADIOLOGY
Panoramic Radiographs

Panoramic radiographs are an extraoral imaging technique that allows to examine all of the existing teeth in the mouth, impacted teeth, bone tissue surrounding the teeth, the entire jawbone, physiological and pathological spaces in the mouth shadow and joints in one go and within the same image. It is especially used in general oral examination for control purposes, simple surgical procedures such as impacted tooth extraction, resection, small cysts or application of a small number of implants. Imaging of all teeth at once allows the patient to be exposed to less radiation compared to serial periapical extractions, and gives the physician the chance to make a general evaluation.

Digital Radiographs (RVG)
Negative radiology techniques used in the past years had many disadvantages such as the loss of time in the bathing phase, the chemicals in the bath solution used and the lead contained in the x-ray film, causing damage to the environment. In addition, films could easily be damaged with this technique.

In this way, the images of the x-ray taken can be seen on the computer screen immediately, while at the same time, desired color adjustments, enlargement-reduction operations and measurements can be made on these images. In this technique, the radiation rate to which the patient is exposed is also significantly reduced. In addition, it is an important advantage that the images can be stored in the patient file on the computer or shared over the internet when necessary.

Computerized Tomography (CT, CT)
It is a three-dimensional tomographic imaging technique used in cases where traditional intraoral and extraoral imaging techniques are insufficient, such as large cysts, tumors and cases where multiple implant applications are planned. Contrary to other two-dimensional techniques, in this method, cross-sections can also be taken from the mouth area and thus the neighborhood of the teeth or pathological formations with the surrounding tissues can be examined in all 3 planes.

Especially in cases where a large number of implants will be applied, the bone thickness in the horizontal direction, the positions of the sinus cavities and the path followed by the vessels and nerves can be determined precisely.

Another advantage of this method is that it can be used in combination with the rapid prototyping method to prepare working models or guide plates of the desired areas before the surgical procedure. In this way, the risk of surgical procedures is minimized.
