New technological advances make interventions faster and less painful

The dentistry, and in particular immediate load implantology, has advanced more in recent years than in previous decades largely thanks to technology. Techniques, tools and materials are constantly evolving to achieve increasingly precise and less invasive procedures, faster recovery times and lower rejection rates in materials.

A example of this cutting-edge technology is Ahoa’s recent acquisition, the PaX-i3D Green scanner, which has meant a significant breakthrough in virtual guided surgery .

Advantages of the PaX-i3D Green dental scanner

This scanner is used in virtually any dental treatment, such as immediate load implantology, endodontics or orthodontics.

First of all, this scanner generates images of very high quality and resolution, which gives us a much more accurate diagnosis, and therefore better results in interventions. An example may be dental fractures, which in their initial phase are not identified with a conventional X-ray. They usually cause acute nerve pain and general discomfort in the patient. Thanks to this type of technology we can identify them in a high percentage of clinical situations.

In addition, this advanced radiodiagnostic machine allows to obtain all the diagnostic tests used in dentistry: the panoramic X-ray, the scanner, the lateral skull X-ray (essential for orthodontic treatments) and the temporomandibular joint X-ray (for the diagnosis of pain and intra-articular misalignments).

In summary, it provides much more and more precise information, which broadens the possibilities not only at the diagnostic level, but above all at the time of to perform the intervention.

What are the benefits for the patient?

The use of this scanner, as well as any new technology applied to dentistry, not only facilitates the work of the professional, but also has great benefits for the patient, such as:

• More predictable results. As we have mentioned, the scanner provides more and much more accurate information, so we can detect problems such as missing bone in advance and adapt the treatment to solve them. In addition, the detailed planning of the procedure helps to foresee any unforeseen events. Thus, the patient knows in advance exactly what the intervention will be like and what the result will be. Another feature of this advanced device is the reduction in radiation doses: radiation doses have been reduced by up to 40% compared to previous-generation machines.

• Faster interventions. The fact of having the intervention planned with the utmost precision and scheduling the material and personnel resources means that we can substantially reduce the time required to perform it. Thus, the patient is subjected to less stress, since the intervention is quicker and simpler. We also avoid the patient having to travel to a radiodiagnostic center for the test, thus reducing visits and treatment times.

• Less invasive surgery. The information provided by this scanner allows us to plan in detail each step of the intervention, so that, for example, the incisions to place an implant are minimal or nonexistent. Thus, recovery times and discomfort are significantly reduced.

In short, many dental treatments can now be performed less invasively and painlessly, faster and at a lower cost to the patient.
