For a successful result of a dental treatment or procedure, diagnosis is a very important and necessary step in the treatment process. This usually occurs with the help of an x-ray taken in dentistry.
Diagnostics helps to assess the complexity of the situation, the depth of caries lesions, to see violations and pathologies in hard-to-reach and hidden areas (which cannot be detected with the naked eye); see the individual location of the roots of the tooth, the location of the canals, and so on; predict the further development of processes, study the possible causes of the problem, assess and study the situation from different angles; diagnostics also helps to draw up a competent further treatment plan, avoid "unnecessary" manipulations and thereby exclude the likelihood of possible further retreatment.
