Cone beam CT scans can provide precise, detailed information on the teeth, nerve pathways, bones, and soft tissues inside the body without the harmful effects of radiation that regular X-rays cause.
A “milling machine for same-day crowns” is a dental technology that allows dentists to design and mill custom crowns from ceramic blocks in the office, enabling patients to receive a new crown in a single visit, often called a “same-day crown.”.
The VELscope Enhanced Oral Assessment System is centered on a handheld scope that is used by clinicians to illuminate oral tissues with blue light and visualize the resulting natural tissue fluorescence. This fluorescence enhances the traditional oral examination by allowing visualization of abnormal areas that may not have been apparent or even visible to the naked eye.
The VELscope system is an adjunctive device which means it must be used together with and as a supplement to the traditional intra and extraoral head and neck exam. Unlike other adjunctive devices used for oral examinations, the VELscope does not require any dyes or prolonged testing procedures. In fact, a VELscope exam can be performed in the dentist’s office during a routine hygiene exam in about two minutes.
