Digital RVG imaging

Contemporary methods of RVG imaging with digital sensors provide high quality images, with significantly reduced radiation required for the imaging of one or more teeth. This is a huge advantage for patients, because in imaging with digital technology the dose of radiation used is up to four times less than the dose required for film imaging.

Furthermore, the image on the computer is much clearer; it can be displayed over the whole screen (enlargement of the entire image or parts thereof) and additionally processed by applying different tools. All these methods give the dentist a much clearer picture of the potential problems and enable more accurate diagnosing and quality in making final decisions. Therefore, RVG imaging in contemporary dental medicine is a standard and not merely an option for individual persons.

Digital orthopantomograph represents a modern variation of the classical orthopantomograph enabling the imaging of entire jaw bones. Its big advantage is the significantly reduced radiation and immediate display of the image on the computer screen. The image is stored permanently in our computer supported data base, where it is available at any time. It can also be stored on a CD, transferred via USB memory sticks or sent via electronic mail.

The images display the structures with high precision, which enables us to see more details and make a more accurate diagnosis compared to classical images. Pathological processes around all tooth roots, the state of the bones in cases of periodontitis and caries lesions on teeth are clearly visible and implantological planning is made easier. In terms of diagnostics, this is the most important image for timely detection of teeth and surrounding tissue diseases.

First and foremost, your dentist must be informed about the pregnancy before x-ray imaging, regardless of the stage of pregnancy. Different options of imaging are available (with a much less dose), as well as options of radiation protection (with lead apron and protection for the neck and the thyroid gland), some of which may be allowed during pregnancy.

However, the dentist will make an appraisal of whether it is suitable to make the x-ray, taking into account all the circumstances and the biological or health state of the pregnant woman.

No. Radiographic imaging, whether of one particular tooth or the entire jaw line, is a completely painless and quick procedure. The imaging of one tooth lasts only a few seconds, and of the entire jaw 12 -15 seconds.

Our clinic is equipped with the complete diagnostic radiologic technology for all kinds of imaging.

In our clinic no special appointment is required and the patients do not have to wait for the images, because they are finished immediately. Every patient receives the image on CD or radiographic film. If necessary, the image can also be sent via email to the address specified by the patient.
