The Gelb Center utilizes the latest in maxillofacial imaging, Our Cone Beam CT (CBCT) allows 3 dimensional (3D) visualization of the temporomandibular joint and skull. The New Tom VG CBCT gives crystal clear images of the TMJs in sagittal, coronal and axial views.
ENT/Sleep Studies One of the fastest-growing areas for CBCT scanning technology is among ENT physicians and surgeons. CBCT has, in an important sense, become the standard of care for this branch of medicine. Because they provide accuracy far superior to conventional cephalograms, CBCT scans are now used not only for diagnostic imaging for such conditions as ZMC fractures and other cranio-facial trauma, they're also used in intra-operative applications. One of the growing areas of application for this technology is CBCT-based surgical navigation. Now maxillo-facial surgeons can process the same 3D images they've utilized for diagnosis through software programs that can be used to guide them during surgery.
CBCT imaging also enables dentists and ENT physicians to uncover other problems, such as air passage abnormalities, that are instrumental in causing such conditions as sleep apnea. As with many dental specialties, CBCT cephalometric imaging is changing the paradigm for ENT physicians and maxillo-facial surgeons.
NewTom NNT analysis software enables the Gelb Center to realize the greatest benefit from three-dimensional CBCT images. It allows the dentist to perform initial diagnoses and subsequently to superimpose images for assessing growth, treatment changes, and the stability of treatment. The software supports the identification of such things as root inclination, positioning of impacted and supernumerary teeth, resorption, hyperplastic growth, and tooth structure anomalies.
NewTom Implant Planning Software (NIP) enables The Gelb Center to utilize CBCT images to create detailed plans for performing implant surgery on your own personal computer. It provides accurate assessment of the thickness and morphology of bone at implant anchorage sites, as well as supporting unequaled quality panoramic, axial, and cross-sectional images.
You can simulate the implant position on 3D models, identify the mandibular canal, draw panoramics and cross sections of the bone model, show the 3D bone model and calculate the bone density. Using NewTom Implant Planning the Dentist can plan the prothesis implant operation in a safer, more efficent and faster way.
