Neglecting one’s health, including dental health, often leads to unpleasant consequences. Dental diagnosis is the first step in the treatment of dental diseases. This helps to detect dental and gum disease at an early stage and start treatment on time or spend less on treatment.
Types of dental diagnostics
At any visit to the dental clinic, the doctor examines the oral cavity for defects. In addition to visual inspection (probing, thermal tests, percussion), the specialist uses the latest methods of hardware diagnostics. Digital dental equipment helps to study in more detail the condition of teeth, soft and hard tissues of the mouth, to identify inflammatory processes.
Such diagnostic methods include:
- radiography;
- tomography;
- laser diagnostics.
Luminescent diagnostics with a laser device allows the doctor to see secondary caries, microcracks and examine the hard tissues of the teeth. Real-time images can be saved and printed. These data can be used for further treatment and monitoring of teeth.
For patients who have contraindications to radiography, it is better to choose a fluorescent diagnosis as a diagnostic examination. By contacting a dental clinic, you can do:
- dental X-ray and three-dimensional image of the jaw,
- digital smile,
- lumdiagnostics.
Advantages of laser diagnostics
Diagnostic devices with laser fluorescence effectively detect cracks in the teeth, allowing to determine the degree of their destruction. There are many advantages of laser diagnostics, among them the main ones are:
- the procedure is absolutely safe for people of any age, including children and pregnant women;
- allows you to detect caries at any stage of the disease;
- the procedure is performed without prior professional brushing;
- unlike an X-ray, the laser image has no shadows and clearly shows all the smallest details of the condition of the teeth and tissues;
- information about the patient’s dental health can be used repeatedly and to assess the dynamics of treatment in the future.
All pathological and inflammatory processes in the oral cavity during laser diagnosis will not go unnoticed by a specialist and will allow the doctor to choose the right treatment tactics and select the necessary drugs (eg, Cynomycin 50 or Cheerio Gel). Early diagnosis allows you to quickly identify unpleasant situations with teeth and cure them at low cost. The use of modern diagnostic and therapeutic devices is an effective way to achieve complete healing of teeth.
