The Cat Scan may be used for investigation of: Dental Implants. Looking at cross sections of the bone to plan the precise placement of implants. This allows us a pre-surgical assessment to optimise the parameters of:
- Presence of any pathologies
- Length of proposed implant
- Depth of proposed implant
- Diameter of proposed implant
- Orientation of proposed implant
- Presence of other vital structures (nerves, sinuses etc)
- Adaptation to the planned restoration
This information can then be used by the surgeon to facilitate your treatment plan.
Dental Infections requiring root canal therapy
The I-Cat will show any infections and define the extent of the infection and morphology of the roots.
Orthodontic assessment
We can determine the precise position of un-erupted teeth and how they relate to each other and the bone structure.
Oral Surgery
Wisdom tooth assessment and surgical procedures will have increased safety. Look before you leap.
