X-ray and Imaging are methods used to detect many problems in oral and dental health services, especially in the jaw and teeth. Thanks to the x-ray and imaging activities applied in the detection of health problems in both the tooth and jaw area, it is also possible to progress the treatment process in a more controlled way.
Especially with X-ray and imaging, it is possible to detect many caries, problems in the roots and bone loss that cannot be noticed during normal examination. Since all problems requiring treatment can be easily and more clearly identified, the treatment process for the patient can be planned in a healthier way.
Many devices with different characteristics are used in X-ray and imaging activities. Problems can be detected with devices and methods such as tomography, radiology, panoramic x-ray, camera, x-rays, which are preferred for tooth and jaw structure.
X-ray and Imaging Activities
X-ray and imaging activities are not only helpful for detecting damaged or to be treated areas in the tooth and jaw area. The conditions determined by X-ray and imaging activities can be listed as follows:
* Detecting and detecting caries and damages that cannot be noticed during the dentist's examination,
* To diagnose cracks, caries and other problems that occur in the inner parts of the filled teeth,
* In determining the bone losses that occur due to the problem in gum diseases,
In case of loss of dental nerves or infection of the gum and tooth root,
* In determining the inflammation that occurs in the root canals,
* Closely following the stages of treatment before and during implant treatment,
* Oral cancer, systematic disease and detection of various types of cysts and observation of the process,
* X-ray and imaging activities are preferred in closely monitoring the development of teeth in children. In this way, all problems can be identified and a faster and more effective treatment process can be planned by dentists according to the situation.
Panoramic Dental X-ray
Panoramic dental X-ray is a method that provides detailed visualization of the mouth and presents the image in a single frame. The panoramic dental X-ray method, which is often preferred by dentists, can be preferred in many different situations.
Panoramic dental x-ray, which helps to detect many problems related to teeth and jaw bone with developing technology, also helps in diagnosing different situations. Panoramic dental X-ray is used in the following cases:
In the detection of cysts or similar abnormalities in the jaw or mouth,
* Before and during implant treatment,
* In the detection of impacted teeth,
* During the planning of orthodontic treatment methods,
* It is preferred in the diagnosis of gum diseases.
Advantages of Panoramic X-ray Activity
Thanks to the advantages and conveniences of panoramic x-ray activity, the diagnosis of many diseases can be made in a shorter time.
In addition, close follow-up of the treatment process is also carried out by panoramic x-ray. We have listed the advantages of panoramic x-ray for you:
*Compared to classical or traditional imaging methods, panoramic x-ray method gives much more comfortable and healthier results.
*Thanks to this method, both dentists and dental technicians can prepare an easier working area. Because of the panoramic X-ray activity, it is possible to view the inside of the patient's mouth clearly and with high resolution.
*Helps to diagnose many diseases earlier in the early period.
*Compared to traditional imaging devices, panoramic x-ray method gives faster and higher quality results.

The most frequently asked questions about X-rays and imaging:
One of the most asked questions about X-rays and imaging is whether X-rays can be taken during pregnancy.
If an X-ray is to be taken during pregnancy, it is preferably 10. We prefer to wait for the week when organ development is completed.
During pregnancy, if an X-ray had to be taken or if it was taken unknowingly; we can say that there is a possibility of harm to the baby.
However, by calculating the dose in serial x-rays such as tomography; it is taken or not with the possibility of harm to the baby.
