How Digital Imaging Transforms Dental Diagnostics

​

Diagnostics have always been a crucial aspect of dentistry. They allow dental practitioners to detect oral and dental issues and develop effective treatment plans. In the past, dental diagnostics was primarily driven by manual examinations and 2D radiographs. However, the digital era has introduced advanced diagnostic possibilities in the form of digital imaging technologies.

​

Unlike traditional radiographs that rely on film to capture dental images, modern digital imaging systems use sensors that instantly capture and display images on a computer screen. The immediacy of digital imaging technologies significantly speeds up the diagnostic process. It also makes enhanced image manipulation actions like color differentiation and light adjustment possible, increasing diagnostic accuracy. Some digital imaging tools that are revolutionizing the diagnostic process in dentistry include digital radiography, cone beam computed tomography, and digital impressions. Below, we describe these in further detail.

​

Digital Radiography

​

Digital Radiography (DR) is a digital imaging technique that employs digital sensors to capture images of the mouth. The two common types of DR used in modern dentistry are intraoral and extraoral digital radiography. The former captures images inside the mouth, while the latter takes images outside. This technology is slowly phasing out conventional X-rays of the mouth.

​

Digital Impressions

​

Gone are the days when dental molds were the only method to create dental impressions. Digital impression systems use optical scanning technology to create 3D renderings of your teeth. These modern dental impressions can be used for orthodontics, crown design, and more.
