Dental CT
This is an application package for reformatting pano-
ramic views and paraxial slices through the upper and
lower jaw. It enables the display and measurement
of the bone structures of the upper and lower jaw
(especially for a 1:1 scale) as the basis for OR planning
in oral surgery.
The Basics
What is the relevant anatomical information for oral
surgery planning and dental implantation?
• Location of the socket for dental implant,
• Buccal and lingual thickness of the cortical com-
ponent of the alveolar process,
• Position of the mandibular canal and the mental
foramen,
• Extent of the nasal sinuses and
• Position and width of the floor of the nasal cavity.
What can Dental CT do?
• Reformatting of a curvilinear range of panoramic
views along the jaw-bone.
• Reformatting of paraxial views of selectable length
and at selectable intervals perpendicular to the
panoramic views.
• Presentation of results in the form of multiple image
display with reference markings.
• Images are documented on film in “real-size” so that
the direct measurement of the anatomic information
with a ruler is possible. The layout of the film sheet is
predefined such that it can accommodate the maxi-
mum number of reformatted images.
