Let us explore two of the most commonly used digital aspects in dentistry, which have been widely accepted and are used in many of the best dental hospitals and clinics worldwide.

1.Intra oral Scanner

When we think of a dental checkup, the first thing that pops up into our mind is the tiny round mirrors which the dentists insert into the mouth to help have a view of the intricate corners and wedges of the mouth. With the advent of intra oral scanners, the entire view of the mouth has been exemplified to another dimension. It is basically a tiny camera which can be easily put inside the mouth and can be manipulated as needed. The biggest advantage of an intra oral scanner over a regular mirror is that it helps magnify the image of visible area inside, this not only helps detect problems quicker but its display on a bigger screen helps dentists to explain the same to the patient giving patients a better understanding of their oral health.

2.Digital X-Rays

An x-ray helps detect the problems in your gums, teeth and oral cavity. Traditional x-rays have been long used in the dental world. Coming to the digital dental x-rays, they use 80-90% less radiation when compared to the traditional ones, in these sensors are used to put forth a gray scale image of your oral cavity into the computer screens of the dentists to help them view the in depth details of the mouth instantaneously. Apart from giving instant results, digital xrays are cost effective as well.
