What is panoramic oral CT? What are the advantages in the field of orthodontics?

What is panoramic oral CT? Meilun panoramic oral CT scans the human body to observe various tissue lesions in the oral cavity, and then multiple precision sensors transmit the image to the workstation to form a cross-sectional image. The thin layer of the image can reach 0.1mm. Detection accuracy, after 3D imaging, doctors can observe the patient's oral layer thickness, layer distance, and cut surface in 360 degrees.

Panoramic oral CT can accurately determine the position of the gums, the depth and thickness of the gum bones and the direction of the roots, as well as the relationship between the facial nerves, blood vessels and adjacent tissues such as the sinuses and orbits, which can detect early and subtle lesions. What are the advantages in the field of orthodontics?

1. It can accurately display the number, size and shape of the embedded supernumerary teeth in the bone;

2. It can confirm the spatial position of the impacted supernumerary teeth (lip-buccal side, lingual side, height and inclination);

3. It can be determined whether the location of the impacted supernumerary teeth is soft tissue impaction or internal jaw bone impaction;

4. It can accurately show the distance or embedding relationship between the impacted supernumerary tooth and the adjacent tooth germ and tooth root;

5. It can show whether the adjacent tooth roots are absorbed and the degree of absorption, and show the full picture of the teeth and the longitudinal arrangement of the teeth;

6. Apical bone, the local relationship between root tip and alveolar bone;

7. The external contour and overall shape of teeth and jaws, and the relationship between tooth arrangement and jaws;

8. It has extremely important clinical significance for orthodontic traction treatment and jaw surgery.

The above is the relevant information compiled by Meilun, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
