Radiology is one of the most important tools in the diagnostic assessment of the dental patient and 3D imaging has become the standard of care for many dental procedures. According to Dr Arun Nayyar, DMD, a customer of 3D Mobile Imaging, “All of our Specialists and General Practitioners rely on the NewTom that 3D Mobile Imaging drives up to our multiple practice locations. Our patients appreciate the convenience, the prompt professional service and the expediency with which the reports are compiled and ready for our review. We have come to rely on the highest quality images that 3D Mobile Imaging’s NewTom VG provides. The information is a great adjunct to our diagnostic decision making.”
Capturing the maxillofacial region in a scan provides the dental physician with a 3-dimensional representation of the maxillofacial skeleton. The NewTom VG unit provides life-size cross-sectional images of the mandible and maxilla to assess the quality and quantity of bone, and spatial orientation of critical anatomical structures for pre- and post-insertion of implant fixtures. Other applications include analysis for TMJ, Orthodontic, maxillofacial surgery as well as airway assessment essential for correcting obstructive sleep disorder.
