More Accurate 3-D Imaging
While relatively new to the field of dentistry, cone beam computed tomography (3-D imaging), is quickly becoming the latest way for dentists to more accurately diagnose and treat oral health issues. Expanding on 2-D imaging, cone beam technology allows dental care providers to get a clear picture of the structures of the teeth, face, and jaw — all in color. The cone beam is similar to X-rays but is converted into a three-dimensional view. During the scan, the cone-shaped beam rotates around the patient’s mouth, providing a three-dimensional picture. Other new technology in dentistry helps us give you the best experience and a healthy smile.
The Benefit Of 3-D Dental Imaging
With advances in technology come greater benefits for patients, including the following:
- Completely painless
- Fast (only takes about 10 seconds)
- Simple (patients just sit down in the imaging area)’
Revolutionary 3-D Tissue Printing
According to researchers at Harvard, progress is being made toward using 3-D printing technology to create human tissue. Thanks to advancements in science, the tissue that would normally be required from a transplant is now being grown in a laboratory. Dr. Anthony Atala, of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine Winston-Salem, NC, says the research is promising. “It shows what can happen in the laboratory when it comes to developing human-like tissue,” Atala said.
