Why to
ask for an oral CAT Scan?
Imagine your mouth as a loaf of bread and you are looking at one end of the loaf. As you remove each slice of
bread, you can see the entire surface of
that slice from the crust to the centre. The mouth is seen on CT scan
slices in a similar fashion from the gum to the teeth being examined. When
these levels are further "added" together, a three-dimensional
picture of an oral structure can be obtained.
 It is called
Computerized Axial Tomography scan which is more commonly known by its
abbreviated name, CT scan or CAT scan. It is an x-ray procedure which combines
many x-ray images with the aid of a computer to generate cross-sectional views
and, if needed, three-dimensional images of the internal organs and structures
of the body or mouth in dental cases.
The oral CT evaluates and analyzes critical anatomy for IMPLANTS AND
ORAL SURGERY within minutes.
Optimize implant treatment and placement and selection of the most
suitable implant type, size, location, and angulations prior to surgery.
Precise, cross-sectional slices of any desired location in the maxilla
(upper jaw) or mandible (lower jaw) provide exact anatomical information,
including dimensions and locations. 3-D images assist in
determining if bone grafting or sinus lift is justified in areas of
insufficient bone for the implant procedure.
 Determine more precise tooth position to visualize impaction within the
alveolar bone, location relative to adjacent teeth, and proximity to vital
structures, such as the nerve canal, sinus walls, and cortical borders.
Detect and evaluate problems before they become serious Accurately measure bone and jaw deformities,
assess bone lesions and changes of the jaw, and detect other pathologies, such
as cysts, tumors, and disease.

scanning adds x-ray images with the aid of a computer to generate
cross-sectional views of anatomy.

Panoramic
X-ray (OPG) given to patients
 Many times when someone
visits his/her dentist and an X-ray needs to be taken, the shot stays in the
dental practice. Nowadays, when one
would like to have another opinion about his/her dental situation from
another local dentist or from a foreign clinic’s dental expert it could be simply inquired on the basis of
an X-ray sending it to the chosen dentist via e-mail and receiving a
treatment-plan by return, without even leaving the house.
In London at QualityPlant’s Harley Street dental
practice, at
their free consultation if a panoramic X-ray is required to
determine the possible treatments, the shot is given to the patients at the end of
the consultation. Quotation of the OPG is ₤30 and people can take it along home
and use it later on.

Travelling abroad for dental care
Two
new surveys reveal why more people from the United Kingdom and Republic of
Ireland are going abroad for dental care.
A
dental tourism survey by RevaHealth.com reveals
high levels of satisfaction among the thousands of dental tourists questioned.
RevaHealth.com is an Internet- based searchable database of over 200 healthcare
providers in 30 different countries.
Patients
who had travelled abroad to receive treatment revealed an average satisfaction
rating of 84%, along with an average cost saving of £3200, or 60% of the cost
of their treatment locally. More than 95% of respondents stated that cost was
the main reason why they considered dental tourism in the first place, but when
it came to choosing which clinic to
visit, quality was the deciding factor. Patients reported wide variations
in the amount of the money they saved and in the abilities of certain clinics
to communicate effectively. There were also variations in satisfaction between
countries, with patient satisfaction highest for clinics in Hungary, Poland and
Thailand.
