Imaging diagnosis in veterinary dentistry involves the use of imaging techniques to evaluate the patient's teeth and diagnose potential pathologies in the oral cavity.
These imaging diagnostic techniques include X-rays and computed tomography (CT), and they are performed under anesthesia, even though these tests are simple and painless.
A visual oral examination is insufficient, as there are many internal structures in the oral cavity that can only be explored through X-rays, such as dental roots or maxillary bones. Thus, performing intraoral radiography is essential for accurate dental diagnosis and treatment.
These imaging tools allow for the detection and monitoring of dental pathologies such as infections, periodontal diseases, resorptive lesions, tumors, or trauma. They can also help identify issues related to dental development, such as the lack of eruption of teeth or supernumerary teeth, among others. Early diagnosis improves prognosis and facilitates treatment.
At IVeM, as a center specialized in veterinary dentistry with years of experience, we possess significant knowledge and skills for conducting these diagnostic tests, acquiring images correctly, and interpreting the results.
Our team of experts, along with the technology available at IVeM, will guide and support you in both the diagnosis and treatment of the dental disease or condition affecting the patient's well-being.
