Philadelphia, PA Dental Implants Expert Uses 3D Imaging for Diagnosis & Developing Treatment Plans

COLLEGEVILLE, PA, March 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) Technology keeps improving the way in which dental treatment is approached, and one area where this is particularly true for Philadelphia, PA dental implants expert Dr. David DiGiallorenzo is in the realm of 3D ConeBeam Imaging.

This imaging shows more detail than traditional X-rays by providing more complete visual information from every angle. The benefits of this ability include:
- It is simple, quick and painless for patients, says DiGiallorenzo, a Philadelphia, PA periodontics specialist. The patient sits in a chair for a single, 10-second scan.
- Multiple types of 3D images can be created and viewed, making it easier for dentists to gain a complete understanding of the patient's physiology prior to formulating a diagnosis and treatment plan.
- It is easier for us to detect other potentially serious problems, such as soft tissue abnormalities and airway obstructions, says the Philadelphia, PA periodontist.
- The original scan data can be duplicated at will to provide other specialists with images as necessary. Because they are digital, there is no film to get lost.

Cone-beam imaging has gained broad acceptance in the dentistry field since about 2003, according to an article in The Radiation Safety Journal.

"I have been happy with this technology," DiGiallorenzo says. "It has been helpful in preparation for dental implant procedures and through its use, it has enabled us to have more success in placing implants."

The Philadelphia, PA periodontists in his practice have used 3D ConeBeam Imaging for years.

"It's difficult to imagine not having this technology at our fingertips," DiGiallorenzo says. "It has changed the way we diagnose and create treatment plans for patients. We are more confident in our accuracy."
