Technology In Dental Treatment
The world has shifted largely with the advancements in technology and the dental industry is one of them. With technical equipment that can ease the process of any treatment, we use a variety of technology to offer mastery in the situation for patients.
3D SCANNERS
One of the latest inventions used in dentistry, 3D Scanner is nothing like ‘you have to wear certain glasses’ to get yourself treated. Instead, it uses an X-ray arm that rotates around your head and captures images and sends it to a computer where all the images are put together in a 3D format. It helps dentists get a very clear picture of things happening in your mouth that couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.
The main aim of the 3D scanner is to detect early dental conditions which could save patients multiple visits to their dentist. It can also be used to plan surgery, evaluate jaws and sinuses, and for dental implants.
CAD / CAM
CAD/CAM treatment, the abbreviation for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing respectively, was first used in the year 1985 to revolutionize the construction of restorations and prostheses. Since then, it has been advanced enough to provide benefits to both the doctor and the client.
CAD and CAM are the software used by dentists around to perform complex restorations efficiently. One could expect restorations like crowns, bridges, inlays, veneers, dentures, and other high-end strength ceramic treatments.
Lasers
Laser dentistry is the use of a laser to treat certain dental conditions. It has been in use since 1989 and advanced further to provide efficient treatment to patients. As LASER stands for ‘light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation,’ it offers comfortable dental treatments for a number of dental procedures.
It is used in a variety of procedures like:
- Hypersensitivity
- Tooth decay
- Gum decay
- Whitening teeth
Laser treatments are cost-effective and have been approved by FDA (Food & Drug Administration) as a treatment option for dental conditions.
RVG
RVG sensor, also known as RadioVisioGraphy is used in the process of digital radiography. It was introduced in the year 1987 by a french dentist as an alternative to X-ray radiation. This sensor reduces the exposure time of the X-ray when used for digital imaging. They are available in three sizes, namely size 0, size 1, and size 2 for different types of applications. This technology has enhanced the efficiency of dental radiography.
There are many other technologies used in the process of dental treatments which make the procedure easy, and the best of them are regularly used at Evershine.
