3D diagnostics and treatment planning offer the orthodontist and the patient an unexpected degree of security, for instance in oral, maxillary and facial surgery, implant dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.

Today a DVT image is the preferred tool for the three-dimensional planning of corrective osteotomies or other surgical or cosmetic interventions in the facial area. To avoid subjecting the patient to the high radiation emissions of a CT, an image of similar precision is rendered with our system at a recording volume of 23 Ø x 17 cm. This is generally sufficient to completely map the entire part of the jaw bearing the teeth as well as the surrounding structures of the midface area.

For the differential diagnosis of ENT findings in the midface region, digital volume tomography is certainly the method of choice at present. With a similarly precise representation as can be achieved with a much more radiation-intensive CT, all paranasal sinuses, for example, can be represented here very precisely in three dimensions.
