Digital tooth shade determination (synonym: digital tooth shade measurement) is a procedure for the exact evaluation of the shade-providing components of a tooth surface prior to the fabrication of tooth-colored restorations. The correct determination of tooth color is a very difficult step in the fabrication of tooth-colored restorations, because the color impression of the natural … Digital Tooth Shade Determination
Digital radiography, or radiovisiography (RVG), is a method of recording, displaying and processing radiographs using electronic data processing. It differs from conventional radiographs, which use film for recording, in that a sensor or sensor film is positioned in the mouth in place of the conventional dental film. The radiation image is visualized with a digital … Digital X-ray
Functional analysis refers to various clinical and instrumental diagnostic procedures that provide information about the functional state of the craniomandibular system (masticatory system). With their help, disorders in the interaction of teeth, temporomandibular joints and masticatory muscles, the so-called craniomandibular dysfunctions (CMD), are detected. The dysfunctions recorded by examination can be divided into: Arthropathies – … Functional Analysis of Crandiomandibular Systems
In modern dentistry, numerous medical devices help to make diagnoses in the dental, oral and maxillofacial systems, thereby contributing to a differentiated therapeutic approach. All patients are familiar with the clinical control examination at the dentist. Many patients are familiar with caries diagnostics, which is supplemented beyond inspection by laser, caries meter or transillumination (FOTI). … Medical Device Diagnostics in Dentistry
An intraoral camera (synonyms: intraoral camera, oral camera) is a digital camera that is pen-shaped in its dimensions and thus dainty enough to allow digital photography inside the mouth while still maintaining high resolution. The demands placed on a camera system that can be used intraorally are correspondingly high: High intraoral depth of field High … Intraoral Camera
An oral current measurement (synonym: galvanic oral current measurement) is used to determine the electrical potential that can build up between different types of metals in the aqueous environment of the oral cavity. Proponents of holistic treatment methods attribute adverse health effects to this. Scientifically undisputed is the fact that electrochemical processes occur between metals … Mouth Current Measurement
The periotron measurement method is used to diagnose inflammation of a periodontium (synonym: periodont, periodontal apparatus) by quantitatively determining the amount of fluid secreted in the sulcus (furrow between the tooth and gum). Its quantity is correlated (interrelated) with the degree of inflammation of the periodontal tissues. Thanks to growing health awareness, early dental diagnostics … Periotron Measurement
Endometric root canal length measurement (synonym: electrometric root canal length determination) is a diagnostic procedure that can be used to determine the preparation length of a root canal very accurately as part of a root canal treatment and thus makes an important contribution to its success. The aim of root canal treatment is to prepare … Root Canal Length Measurement (Endometry)
