About this page

This page explains what we use each device for. Which device is needed for a particular procedure is decided by the dentist after your examination.

Is the jawbone tall and wide enough to support an implant?

A conventional X-ray compresses the whole jaw into a single plane, so the nerve canal, impacted tooth and bone boundary overlap. In a cross-sectional image, they are separated and can be measured.

  • Bone height
  • Bone width
  • Nerve canal position
  • Impacted tooth position

Cone Beam Computed Tomography

CBCT

How can bone volume be restored using your own tissue?

An extracted tooth is ground and cleaned to create bone graft material. The material stays the same, only its form changes; the space where it will be placed is filled with tissue from the same patient.

  • Extracted tooth
  • Ground form
  • Placement in the bone gap

Autogenous Tooth Graft Unit

How is a model made without plaster or impression material?

With a conventional impression, the chain is long: impression tray, impression material, waiting in the mouth, plaster model, then transport. With a scanner, the chain ends in three steps, and the impression can be sent digitally on the same day.

  • Conventional impression chain
  • Digital chain
  • Point where chains separate

Imaging

  • 01Cone Beam Computed TomographyCBCTProduces a three-dimensional image of the jaw. Bone height and width for implant planning, the position of impacted teeth and the path of the nerve canal are assessed on this scan. It shows depth that a conventional X-ray cannot.see details

Surgery

  • 01Autogenous Tooth Graft UnitGrinds and processes an extracted tooth into bone graft material. A graft obtained from the patient's own tooth can be considered where bone volume needs to be rebuilt without using foreign material.see details

Digital Workflow

  • 01Intraoral Digital ScannerTakes the impression by scanning inside the mouth. No plaster, impression material or single-use tray is needed, and the impression can be sent to the laboratory digitally the same day. It is more comfortable than a conventional impression for people with a strong gag reflex.see details
