What was this case about?
A case-study format explaining how dental imaging may be incorporated into diagnosis and treatment planning.
The dental question
Extra 2D or 3D detail is considered when it is likely to change the plan — for example selected implant, wisdom tooth or complex root questions.
Why imaging may be considered
The dentist decides whether an OPG, a periapical X-ray or CBCT is useful. CBCT is not a screening scan for every patient.
Diagnostic imaging
CBCT
Cone-beam CT may be used when 3D anatomy is likely to change implant, wisdom tooth or selected root planning. It is not required for every dental treatment.
OPG
A panoramic OPG can give a broad 2D overview of the jaws when that picture is enough.
Treatment approach
The treatment approach involved individual planning after examination. The plan included the steps below.
Imaging supports judgement; it does not replace examination. A named imaging case will be added from a verified record.
Treatment journey
-
State the clinical question
-
Choose the smallest useful image
-
Explain why a scan is or is not advised
-
Use findings in the treatment discussion
-
Avoid repeat scans without a reason
