Dental implant computed tomography

Tomographic examination is the foundation for planning implant treatment. Three-dimensional imaging provides precise information about the amount of bone in the area of the planned procedure. An accurate diagnosis is a significant part of success in dentistry. Only through it can effective treatment be planned and carried out.

One of the most important diagnostic examinations performed before starting dental treatment in implantology is 3D computed tomography for dental implantation.

The examination provides a 3D image that helps improve diagnostic accuracy and ensures a well-founded diagnosis.

CT of the teeth, upper, and lower jaw is painless and non-invasive. This diagnostic procedure takes little time, and the results are ready within minutes. The examination requires no special preparation from the patient.

Computed tomography for dental implantation — advantages of diagnostics

3D visualization (computer projection) has a wide range of applications in dental treatment, including implantology. The ability to visualize in three dimensions significantly increases the accuracy of procedure planning. Modern digital tomography software allows the doctor to simulate implant treatment digitally (for example, by placing a virtual implant on the monitor instead of the missing tooth).

Computed tomography in implant planning allows you to:

  • accurately assess the quantity and quality of bone structure;

  • identify and mark critical anatomical structures (including mandibular canals, nerves, and sinuses);

  • perform precise measurements;

  • work at a 1:1 scale.

CT and titanium implants form a unique tandem — without this examination, it is difficult to speak of implant procedure success.

Computed tomography is a highly precise examination that provides a detailed three-dimensional image of the patient’s tissues. It is routinely performed before starting implant treatment and provides the information necessary for a complete assessment of the patient’s clinical condition and, as a result, helps choose the most optimal treatment method.

Computed tomography for dental implant planning in the “SA-NATA” clinic network

Computed tomography of the upper and lower jaw allows for precise bone measurements at any location. The examination also provides an accurate assessment of the spatial position of the maxillary sinus floor and, if it is too low, helps plan a sinus lift procedure to enable the placement of dental implants.

The extensive capabilities of computed tomography make this examination one of the key elements of diagnostics and planning for dental implant reconstruction today. In the past, a panoramic X-ray was sufficient at this stage of treatment, but that is no longer the case — implantologists now prefer to have a more complete and detailed view of the oral cavity to ensure more effective treatment.

With the use of computed tomography for dental implantation, treatment becomes less invasive and is performed faster.
