Occlusal interference detection finds disruptive bite contacts linked to enamel wear, TMJ dysfunction, and bone loss. Key diagnostic methods explained.
A periodontal probe measures gingival sulcus depth and detects periodontal pockets — the essential diagnostic tool for assessing and monitoring periodontal disease.
Periodontal risk assessment evaluates susceptibility to gum disease via clinical, radiographic, and systemic data to guide personalized treatment planning.
Mobility assessment measures tooth movement within the socket to detect bone loss and periodontal disease, guiding treatment decisions with precision.
Extraoral radiographs place the imaging sensor outside the mouth to capture wide jaw and skull views used in orthodontics, surgery, and implant planning.
A periapical X-ray captures the full tooth—crown to root tip—revealing abscesses, bone loss, and root fractures invisible to the naked eye.
A full mouth series (FMX) radiograph is a complete set of dental X-rays used to diagnose caries, bone loss, and periapical pathology across all teeth.
Oral pathology assessment evaluates oral lesions, jaw disease, and soft-tissue changes — essential for early detection and accurate diagnosis.
Oral cancer screening identifies early lesions in the mouth through visual exam and palpation. Learn what dental professionals look for and why it matters.
