Technology
Our Clinic is equipped with all indispensable and
basic instruments, devices and apparatuses necessary for general dental
treatment.
As a considerable part of cases in our Clinic are
complex cases requiring additional, specialist equipment, here are some
examples of devices available at our clinic that allow us to carry out
specialist treatment:
Our clinic is equipped with:
Digital
pantomograph X-ray
For making pictures of the facial skeleton in planning
general stomatological and implant-prosthetic treatments. Thanks to this device
we are able to classify a patient for a treatment and plan e.g. implantological
treatment, as well as make repeated X-ray pictures in order to evaluate the
effects of the treatment in time. This is of great importance in
implantological treatment.
Digital
X-ray machine
For making intraoral pictures, used in diagnostics and
between procedures in root canal treatment, as well as in
surgical-implantological treatment.
It allows to evaluate the state of dentition directly
at the dental chair, and to visualise phases of treatments on the X-ray
picture.
Has a tooth canal been filled properly; has a post
been set precisely in a root; in the phase of making impressions on the
implants and placing prosthetic crowns – have individual construction elements
been properly screwed, set in the oral cavity.
Digital equipment, unlike analogue equipment, makes it
possible to get pictures immediately after it has been taken and to visualise
at the workstation, directly on a screen at the dental chair.
Visiting patients do not need to have the pictures
taken at other X-ray laboratories.
An important asset of digital X-ray machines is that
the dose of radiation is many times smaller than in analogue machines used
before.
Microscope gives incomparably better possibilities for
proper treatment, especially in root canal treatment. A considerable
magnification of the visual field is reflected in considerably more precise
draining, clearing, and filling tooth canals. It increases therapeutic
possibilities, and therefore we are able to “save” teeth that had been
classified for extraction before. We may treat complicated, seemingly hopeless
cases, we may remove left, broken instruments from the canals, seal intracanal
perforations, etc.
A microscope is also used in surgery of the alveolar
process, e.g. cleaning inflammatory tissues in the bone, removing foreign
bodies after injuries, surgical debribement of the alveolar process before
implantation, regenerating bone structures.
The procedures are done more precisely and are less
invasive for the patient.
Thanks to this apparatus we are able to carry out
microsurgical procedures on the soft tissue in periodontal surgery (soft tissue
transplants, plastic surgery of soft periodontal tissue and implants) and in
procedures improving the aesthetics of prosthetic restorations.
Piezosurgery
A device for cutting the bone tissue and for
collecting bone transplants. It is now the most modern and sophisticated device
used in alveolar process surgery and in implantology for making very precise
incisions in the bone tissue with no harm to the soft tissue. It is of great
importance, especially when carrying out highly specialist bone transplant,
sinus lift procedures, etc.
Except from the precision of the procedure, which
means better prognosis in difficult cases, another merit is work safety. The
Piezosurgery device eliminates the risk of damaging e.g. nerves or vessels
passing through the maxillary bone structure and the mucous membrane of the
maxillary sinus. The precision of the procedures is greatly improved, which
considerably influences the effect of the treatment.
The above-listed devices are only an example of the
equipment available in our Clinic, which enables us to provide a full spectrum
of general stomatological treatment, and in particular highly specialist
procedures in all fields of stomatology and, above all, in implantology.
