What does curved slice mean?

Curved tomographic films are actually oral panoramic films and have been widely used in medical diagnosis.

Based on the anatomical characteristics of the oral and maxillofacial region, such as the symmetry of the oral and maxillofacial region, the mandibular arch and the dental arch, a three-axis fixed continuous conversion arc tomography was designed. The orthodontist can observe the development of the entire mouth and the condition of the upper and lower jaws through the curved slices. Curved tomography scans have been widely used in clinical orthodontic work.

Full-mouth curved tomographic films can display the bilateral maxillary and mandibular, maxillary sinuses, temporomandibular joints and the entire mouth of teeth on a single film, that is, the entire mouth of teeth and the entire upper and lower jaws are flattened on the curved tomographic films. Images with low density above the middle of the hard palate are the nasal cavity, and images of the zygomatic bones and zygomatic arch can also be partially shown. The coracoid process, mandibular foramen, and mental foramen below the apex of the premolar area can all be displayed. The dense transverse image above the cusps of the upper teeth is the hard palate. Dense longitudinal shadowing can sometimes be seen in the center of the jaw, caused by overlapping cervical projections.

Curved tomographic films are often used to observe the upper jaw and maxillary tumors, trauma, inflammation, deformity and other lesions and their relationship with surrounding tissues. They can be photographed when necessary.

The price of tooth curved tomographic radiographs is about 60 yuan to 150 yuan. The specific price needs to be judged according to the hospital's charging standards.

If the patient chooses a hospital with relatively low charging standards, or the local price level is relatively low, the cost usually will not exceed 100 yuan. In areas with relatively high price levels, the fees may be relatively high, probably more than 100 yuan.

By taking tomographic films of tooth curves, the development of teeth can be observed. If the teeth have developmental abnormalities, orthodontic treatment needs to be carried out immediately to avoid delaying the best time for treatment.
