X-ray in Kyiv

The main purpose of performing an X-ray in dentistry is the need to obtain complete information about the condition of the teeth and bones of the jaw without causing discomfort to patients. X-ray – this is a picture made with the help of special equipment, based on the results of which the doctors of our UADenta clinic in Kyiv make a diagnosis, develop and adjust the course of treatment.

X-rays in our UADenta clinic are performed using various technologies and modern high-precision equipment, which eliminates the possibility of errors and inaccuracies.

What the radiograph shows

During an X-ray examination, X-ray radiation in the form of a concentrated electromagnetic pulse is projected onto the entire jaw or its area. The projection result is recorded by a special device and displayed on film or digitally. The level of X-ray exposure to the patient's body is minimal, which allows this diagnostic tool to be used for examining children and pregnant women.

The radiograph shows the state of the jaw bone, dentin and gums at the time of examination, allowing to detect:

• cracked teeth, root fractures, consequences of trauma;

• pathologies of the jaw bone and bite;

• periodontitis and periodontitis;

• carious areas behind fillings and under the crown;

• various neoplasms and abscesses.

Compact devices are used for standard images of a few teeth, while equipment for 3D X-rays can take up an entire room.

Indications for dental x-rays

Doctors of our UADenta clinic in Kyiv must prescribe an X-ray examination if patients complain of tooth mobility, gum inflammation, painful sensations when biting and chewing.

X-ray diagnostics is recommended for:

• teething delays;

• injury of tooth roots and crowns;

• jaw or tooth fracture;

• inflammation of peri-dental tissues;

• forming a defective bite;

• deep caries;

• jaw fracture;

• pulpitis, etc.

X-ray in Kyiv allows timely detection of neoplasms on the tooth root (cyst, granuloma and other pathologies). Orthopedists use the images to monitor the effectiveness of treatment, determine the possibility of orthopedic procedures, installation of prostheses or implants. During endodontic treatment, doctors determine the state of the root canal and the quality of the filling with the help of images. Control images are also performed some time after the end of the treatment to monitor the condition of the gums or teeth.

Are there any contraindications 

X-rays are contraindicated for patients in serious condition and in the presence of bleeding. Pregnant women have their necks and chests covered with a lead cape during dental X-rays to exclude the possibility of the X-ray pulse affecting the health of the fetus.

Various types of radiography

An X-ray in Kyiv is prescribed before most dental procedures, as it allows identifying problems and pathologies with almost 100% accuracy.

In our UADenta clinic, x-ray diagnostics are performed in the following ways:

• Fixed X-ray. It is used to study the condition of 1-3 teeth and surrounding tissues. The patient applies a film to the tooth, on which the reflection of the tooth root, gums, canals, etc. remains.

• Biteful. It is used to detect tartar and caries in hidden areas of the oral cavity. The pictures show two rows of teeth, bones and pathologies.

• Panoramic. It is prescribed before orthodontic treatment. The picture shows the state of the upper and lower jaws, the oral cavity in general and individual teeth when zoomed in.

• 3D X-ray. Allows you to get pictures of damaged teeth for high-precision examination, in particular from different angles.

The examination is painless and safe regardless of the type of equipment used. Before X-ray diagnosis, patients must remove all metal products, as the presence of metal can spoil the image.

Our UADenta dental clinic offers x-ray diagnostic services using modern diagnostic equipment at affordable prices. We guarantee the accuracy of the images and the safety of the procedure.
