Volume tomography

Digital volume tomography (DVT) is a three-dimensional imaging procedure based on X-rays that is primarily used in ENT medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery and dentistry.

Areas of application:

• Implant planning

• Exact localization of displaced, impacted or wisdom teeth

• Visualization of inflammatory bony changes in the area of the tooth roots and for planning apicoectomies

• Visualization of the inside of the tooth (endodont) and the root canals

• Diagnosis of dental injuries

• Assessment of the periodontium for periodontal treatments

• Superimposition-free visualization of tooth number and shape anomalies prior to orthodontic treatment

• Visualization of the temporomandibular joints, e.g. for osteoarthritis
