CBCT Imaging and SimPlant® Master Conversion Center

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Imaging and SimPlant® Master Conversion Center

 
Periodontal Medicine Surgical Specialists is deeply committed to employing the most advanced technology to facilitate the highest level of personalized, preventative, predictable and proven care. The practice is one of the first in the country to install the Carestream Dental CS 9300, a unique system that can provide high quality Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images allowing for a detailed look at patient anatomy in three dimensions. The system also reduces radiation exposure without compromising the diagnostic capabilities of conventional CT.

In addition to incorporating CBCT technology into its practice, Periodontal Medicine Surgical Specialists has also established an imaging center that provides services to other medical and dental practices. The center sets the standard for image acquisition, diagnostic quality, patient safety, radiology analysis, SimPlant® conversion plus 3D masking, and customer service. The center is staffed with a licensed radiology technologist, who is also its co- director.

The Periodontal Medicine and Surgical Specialists LTD Difference


Experience With more than 25 years of experience, Periodontal Medicine Surgical Specialists offers an in-depth understanding of imaging needs and unmatched dedication to service. The practice is aware that providing leading edge imaging services entails a certain level of accountability, and is committed to meeting and exceeding those expectations.

Technology The Carestream Dental CS 9300 3D imaging system used at the center is the rst of its kind in the country. It offers unprecedented diversity in selecting multiple sizes of 3D images, which allow for targeted CT studies with minimal radiation exposure.

The CS 9300 offers the opportunity to expand the use of radiology technology beyond just implants. Variable focus elds allow the use of one machine for a variety of clinical purposes, such as evaluation of periodontal architecture, endodontic pathology, TMJ assessment, pathology/fractures/trauma related analysis, third molar/vital structure assessment, 3D analysis for oral and maxillofacial related services, airway assessment for bruxism/sleep apnea patients, and other pertinent aspects related to comprehensive health care.

The CS 9300 can capture 3D images of a few teeth in a single arch or a volume of the entire maxillofacial complex, depending on the individual needs of the patient. The CS 9300 offers state-of-the-art, high quality 3D imaging while minimizing radiation exposure to patients. Our center operates within the “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA) principle at all times.

In addition to the imaging services provided by Mr. Falls, we partner with one of the nation’s leading oral and maxillofacial radiologists, who reviews each scan and panorex. This transcends typical interdisciplinary dentistry, and helps to ensure that patients are evaluated with as much oversight as possible, so that a complete diagnosis can be made.
