Applications of Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D Imaging

Implant Dentistry

CBCT imaging is indispensable in implant dentistry for precise preoperative planning, accurate implant placement, and bone quality and quantity assessment for our dentist in Summerland Key, FL. Planmeca Ultra Low Dose technology enables detailed visualization of the alveolar ridge, adjacent anatomical structures, and potential implant sites, facilitating optimal implant placement and predictable treatment outcomes.

Orthodontics

CBCT imaging plays a pivotal role in orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of treatment progress. With Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D imaging in Summerland Key, FL, our dentist can evaluate skeletal and dental relationships, assess root morphology and resorption, and identify impacted teeth and anomalies with exceptional clarity and accuracy. This comprehensive information enhances treatment planning precision and helps achieve optimal patient orthodontic results.

Endodontics

CBCT imaging is invaluable in endodontics for diagnosing complex root canal anatomy, detecting periapical pathology, and assessing treatment outcomes. Planmeca Ultra Low Dose technology provides high-resolution images of the root canal system, periapical region, and surrounding structures, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for endodontic procedures.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

CBCT imaging is essential in oral and maxillofacial surgery for preoperative planning, assessment of bony structures, and visualization of impacted teeth, tumors, and pathology. Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D imaging offers detailed volumetric images of the maxillofacial region, enabling precise surgical planning, virtual implant placement, and simulation of surgical procedures for optimal outcomes and patient safety.
