DOLPHIN Diagnostics

One of the most important and complex steps in orthodontology is diagnostics and planning for correct diagnosis provides successful treatment.

The primary examination allows the orthodontologist to determine the necessity of orthodontological treatment, establish the term of its start, make assumption about its scope and duration. At this stage full diagnostics of the patient’s oral cavity condition is made.

Stage of Diagnostics in Orthodontology

Diagnostics in orthodontology comprised:

• Control and diagnostic models.
 A doctor takes imprints of your teeth with a special soft impression material, after that  gypsum diagnostic models are manufactured. An orthodontologist makes analysis and assessment of the models (the interrelation of the upper and lower jaw teeth, the teeth size, the dental arch width, calculates the degree of overcrowding and symmetricity of the teeth rows etc.).
• Images of mouth and oral cavity. On the extra-oral images the doctor assesses the face symmetry, harmony, smile line. Intra-oral images make it possible to assess teeth joining, shape and make it possible to evaluate the treatment in dynamics.
• X-ray images.  Orthopantomogram and teleroentgenogram (TRG) are compulsory images. In some clinical cases it is necessary make x-ray images of maxillotemporal joint and computer-aided tomography. All these images can be made in our clinic which is convenient for a patient. They are necessary for assessment of real jaws location in relation to the scull base, teeth decline angle, state of the root, location of dental buds, location of condyles in the glenoid fossae, evaluation of the state of the upper and lower jaw bone tissue etc.

The modern orthodontology adopts computer-aided technology, and the aesthetic dentistry clinic PRIZMA keeps up with the time. We use the best diagnostic program DOLPHIN Imaging (DOLPHIN ImagingPlus,  DOLPHIN Ceph Tracing, Treatment Simulation). Its main and unique peculiarities are calculation of TRG-image and treatment simulation. TRG (teleroentgenogram) is the basis of the diagnosis and therapy planning, it is an X-ray image with the minimum projection disturbance. It makes it possible to know the type of skeleton growth, precise jaw size, angle of teeth inclination etc.

Computer-aided diagnostics DOLPHIN

In aesthetic dentistry clinic PRIZMA in Kiev a doctor calculates the image not manually but using the program DOLPHIN with mathematic precision thus avoiding the errors at this stage. After the image calculation an orthodontologist applies a photo of the patient’s face in profile on it and by means of displacement of points (of bone and soft tissues) the final result visualization (the change of the face aesthetics under various treatment methods) is made.

Therefore, the doctor and the patient can evaluate each particular treatment type, its result before the beginning of treatment and consciously select the optimal option for achievement the desired result. All the patient’s data (intra-oral and extra-oral images, x-ray images and calculations, conclusions, treatment visualization) are stored in the program database in the personal records for each patient which is convenient both for the doctor and for the patient.
