Dentistry, and especially immediate loading implantology, have 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 interventions, faster recovery times and lower material rejection rates.
An example of this cutting-edge technology is the recent acquisition of Ahoa, the scanner PaX-i3D Green, which has meant a significant advance in interventions with guided virtual surgery.
Advantages of the PaX-i3D Green scanner for dentistry
This scanner is used in virtually any dental treatment, such as immediate loading implantology, endodontics or orthodontics.
First of all, this scanner generates images of the highest quality and resolution, with which we achieve much more accurate diagnosis, and therefore better results in the interventions. An example may be dental fractures, which in their initial phase are not identified with a conventional radiograph. 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 radiodiagnosis machine allows obtain all diagnostic tests used in dentistry: Panoramic radiography, scanner, lateral skull radiography (essential for orthodontic treatments) and temporomandibular joint radiography (for the diagnosis of pain and intra-articular imbalances).
In short, it provides much more and more precise information, thereby expanding the possibilities not only at the diagnostic level, but especially when performing the intervention.
What benefits does it have for the patient?
The use of this scanner, as well as any new technology applied to dentistry, not only facilitates the professional's work, but also has great benefits for the patient, such as:
- More predictable results. As we have mentioned, the scanner provides a greater amount of and much more precise information, with which we can detect problems such as lack of bone in advance and adapt the treatment to solve them. In addition, the detailed planning of the procedure helps to anticipate any unforeseen event. 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 decrease in radiation doses: a reduction of up to 40% has been achieved compared to previous generation machines.
- faster interventions. The fact of having the intervention planned with the utmost precision and programming the material and personnel resources means that we are able to substantially reduce the time needed to carry it out. Thus, the patient is subjected to less stress, since the intervention is faster and easier. We will also prevent the patient from having to travel to a radiodiagnosis center to carry out said test, thereby reducing visits and treatment times.
- Less invasive surgery. The information provided by this scanner allows us to plan each step of the intervention in detail, so that, for example, the incisions to place an implant are minimal or non-existent. Thus, recovery times and discomfort are significantly reduced.
In short, many dental treatments can now be performed less invasively and painlessly, faster and more at a lower cost to the patient. If you want a more precise diagnosis, a second opinion or you have an unresolved oral problem, ask our specialists about the possibility of a diagnosis with a PaX-i3D Green scanner. Ahoa's team of specialists will find the best solution for you. Call us and ask for a budget without commitment!
