Computed tomography of teeth and jaw
Accurate diagnosis is an integral part of modern dentistry. It allows doctors to accurately determine the cause of the problem and choose the optimal treatment method.
Computed tomography of teeth (CT) is an innovative diagnostic method that provides a detailed three-dimensional (3D) image of the teeth, roots, bone tissue, and the entire maxillofacial region. The technology is based on the principle of layer-by-layer scanning: the device takes multiple images from different angles, after which a specialized program forms a three-dimensional model of the area under examination.
Unlike traditional X-rays, which produce a two-dimensional image, CT allows the doctor to see the anatomy of the dentofacial system in its entirety, including the smallest details. This is especially important when planning implant placement, root canal treatment, atypical tooth extraction, or injury assessment.
In terms of safety, computed tomography does indeed use X-rays, but the dose is significantly lower than with conventional X-rays, especially when using modern CBCT machines (our clinic has one of these). The procedure takes only a few minutes and is considered safe even for children (when indicated) and elderly patients.
The specialists at Club 32, a family dental clinic in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, use dental computed tomography for all complex clinical cases.
We always make every effort to preserve your teeth and restore their functionality and aesthetics. If necessary, you can have a dental CT scan done right here at our clinic at a reasonable price.
In addition, you can pay for examinations and treatment in installments without any extra charges.
We do everything to ensure that your treatment is effective, affordable, and comfortable.
Indications and contraindications for CT scans of the maxillofacial region
A CT scan of the teeth is prescribed if the patient is suspected of having one of the following pathologies:
- cyst
- granuloma
- inflammatory processes
It is also used in preparation for implantation, wisdom tooth removal, and orthodontic treatment.
In addition, dental CT scans are necessary for the treatment of injuries and congenital pathologies of the jaw system.
Contraindications are minimal: pregnancy, age under 5 years (possible if indicated), and allergy to contrast, if used (extremely rare in dentistry). Otherwise, the method is safe.
The procedure for CT scanning of the lower and upper jaw
CT is a quick and safe diagnostic procedure that does not require special preparation.
The patient arrives at the appointed time, undergoes a brief consultation, and fills out a questionnaire. Before the examination, it is necessary to remove all metal jewelry and objects from the head and neck area — they can affect the image quality.
The patient is then invited into the room where the modern tomograph is located. The head is secured in a stabilizing frame to prevent movement. The machine then rotates around the head, taking a series of X-ray images from different angles. The entire process takes no more than 10-15 minutes and is completely painless.
The data obtained is automatically processed by the program, creating a detailed three-dimensional model of both jaws.
The doctor is able to study the structure of bone tissue, teeth, roots, canals, paranasal sinuses, and joints in minute detail. Depending on the purpose of the examination, a CT scan of the maxillofacial region, a CT scan of all teeth, or other types of examinations may be performed.
The finished images and conclusion can be obtained on the same day or the next day.
Advantages of computed tomography of the jaw and teeth
This is the most accurate and informative diagnostic method, allowing the detection of hidden pathologies that cannot be identified using standard X-rays. The main advantage of CT is that it provides a highly detailed three-dimensional image. The doctor can see the teeth, bone tissue, roots, canals, paranasal sinuses, joints, and other anatomical structures in cross-section and in volume.
This visualization is especially important when planning implantations, surgical interventions, and the treatment of cysts, granulomas, fractures, and inflammations. CT allows you to accurately measure the height and thickness of bone tissue, assess density, and identify hidden canals and microcracks. This eliminates the risk of errors and improves the quality of treatment, especially in complex clinical cases and repeat therapy.
Another advantage of CT dental diagnostics is the low radiation dose compared to traditional X-ray examinations. Modern cone beam devices are safe even for children (when indicated) and elderly patients. The procedure takes a few minutes, causes no discomfort, and immediately provides the doctor with all the information necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
An important advantage of dental CT scans in Kyiv is the affordable price of this type of examination. And since the Club 32 clinic has its own modern tomograph, you save not only money but also time, as you can have a CT scan right at your appointment without unnecessary waiting and referrals to other centers.
How to prepare for a CT scan of the maxillofacial region?
No special preparation is required. Before the examination, you must remove all metal objects from your head and neck: earrings, chains, hair clips, hearing aids, removable dentures. If you are pregnant or have chronic diseases, be sure to inform your doctor before the procedure.
