An X-ray of a tooth in dentistry is done to make an accurate diagnosis, to identify the amount of work, existing features, and predict possible complications. Also, dental x-rays help to detect hidden diseases that may be asymptomatic in time. It is used for both molars and baby teeth.

X-ray machine in dentistry

A dental x-ray machine is indispensable for the successful diagnosis of diseases of the dental system.

For modern X-ray machines, you can purchase a visiograph - a sensor that receives radiation emanating from the X-ray machine, processes this information and transmits it to a computer or laptop monitor.

The X-ray machine together with the visiograph provides:

• minimal doses of radiation - which do not affect health in any way,
• perfect clear image - instantly appearing on the computer screen,
• no need to use chemical reagents for image clarity,
• the ability to quickly configure the device for operation,
• easy change of settings.

Modern X-ray machines compare favorably with their predecessors with the following advantages:

• do not require the installation of an X-ray laboratory;
• eliminate regular costs for auxiliary materials;
• speed up the process of obtaining images due to the sensitivity of the sensor, reducing the patient’s radiation dose by several times (!).

1.What is a dental x-ray and why do you need one?

A dental or dental x-ray is an x-ray examination that will detect dental problems in the mouth and jaw. Dental x-rays show cavities, invisible formations (wisdom teeth) and changes in the structure of bone tissue. Dental x-rays are also taken after dental treatment to evaluate the results.

The following types of dental x-rays exist:

• Bitewing X-ray (intraoral);
• Panoramic x-ray (extraoral).

Why is a dental x-ray performed?

Dental x-rays are needed to:

• Detect oral problems such as tooth decay, damage to bones and tooth roots. Dental X-rays can find these problems faster than symptoms appear;
• Find teeth that are growing out of place or are crooked;
• Detect cysts, abscesses and hard growths;
• Plan surgical treatment or tooth extraction.

It is also recommended that everyone undergo dental x-rays every 1-2 years.

2.How to prepare and how is it carried out?

How to prepare for a dental x-ray?

Tell your doctor before the x-ray about a possible or confirmed pregnancy. Dental X-rays are not usually done on pregnant women.

How is a dental x-ray performed?

Dental x-rays are taken and interpreted by the dentist.

You will sit in a chair during the procedure. You will be wearing a special lead apron. You will need to bite down on a small plastic piece. You may need to do this several times until all the teeth show up in the photo. You can rinse your mouth before and after the x-ray.

The procedure lasts only a few minutes.

Selection rules

1. Obviously, the X-ray machine must have documents - a registration certificate and a declaration of conformity.

2. It is necessary to make sure that the equipment you choose is manufactured and supplied by a company with a serious reputation.

3. Even more important is the level of safety of the device - the ability to produce high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure for the patient and staff.

4. The most important factor is the presence of a high-frequency generator in the X-ray machine.

5. The best indicator is a frequency of 300 kHz. This technology allows us to minimize the share of soft X-ray radiation, which is ineffective for diagnosis and harmful to the human body. As a result, the patient and others will receive 25-35% less radiation exposure compared to low-frequency X-ray equipment.

6.

When purchasing an X-ray machine, find out whether the same ]radiovisiograph[/anchor] is supplied by a trustworthy one. In the event of a malfunction of the “radiovisiograph + X-ray machine” set, it is much more convenient to contact one service center with a question about checking the functionality of both components.

7. It would be ideal if the equipment had not only a common supplier, but also one manufacturer. In this case, you are insured against “incomplete compatibility” of devices. After all, this is another confirmation that you are dealing with a serious manufacturer.
