Why accurate diagnostics are essential: the foundation of modern dentistry

Early and reliable dental diagnostics are the key to preventing serious oral diseases. International studies by the World Health Organization confirm that more than 45% of adults in Europe face gum diseases, and up to 80–90% of the population in CIS countries experience carious lesions. However, only one-third of patients seek help in the early stages, when complex and expensive treatment can still be avoided.

Modern dentistry has long gone beyond simple visual examination. High-precision images of teeth and roots, evaluation of bone tissue, and detection of hidden defects have become the standard of high-quality medical care. At Diplomat Med Center, diagnostics are performed using advanced digital equipment that ensures maximum informativeness and comfort for the patient.

Dental diagnostic methods used at Diplomat Med Center

Modern diagnostics include a whole range of examinations aimed at identifying pathologies before pain or external symptoms appear. This approach complies with international recommendations by the ESE — European Society of Endodontology.

3D X-ray imaging (Cone-Beam Computed Tomography)

The clinic uses the Planmeca ProMax® 3D device, which provides highly accurate 3D images of the entire dentoalveolar system. According to research published in the Journal of Dental Research, CBCT increases the accuracy of diagnosing hidden inflammatory lesions and additional root canals by 30–40%. This is especially important when planning endodontic treatment and dental implantation.

Orthopantomography

A panoramic X-ray allows the dentist to obtain complete data about all teeth, joints, and bone tissue within seconds. It is indispensable in prosthetics and in examinations of patients with multiple dental conditions.

Radiovisiography

Digital targeted X-ray imaging reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to film devices (PubMed). The method is safe for children and pregnant women in approved observation periods.

Apex location

Used during root canal treatment. The apex locator determines canal length with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm, preventing errors that could lead to reinfection.

Which diseases can be detected at early stages

Accurate diagnostics help prevent severe complications. International data from the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP), 2023 show that regular preventive check-ups every 6 months reduce the risk of tooth loss by 60–70%.

Timely diagnostics can reveal:

–  hidden caries under fillings
–  pulp inflammation and periodontitis
–  cysts or granulomas
–  enamel and root cracks
–  gum recession and periodontitis
–  bite disorders and enamel wear

The earlier a pathology is detected, the easier and more affordable the treatment.

Advantages of computer-assisted diagnostics

The use of digital equipment makes examinations as informative and quick as possible. Technology allows the dentist to see what cannot be detected with the naked eye.

Advantages:

–  high precision visualization of anatomy
–  minimal radiation exposure
–  instant on-screen results
–  ability to store and compare treatment dynamics
–  risk-free planning of complex operations

The patient receives detailed recommendations and an individualized treatment plan based on diagnostic data.

How diagnostics are performed at Diplomat Med Center

The procedure takes from 5 to 20 minutes and is completely safe. Sterile equipment, disposable protective materials, and precise radiological protocols are used. The results are available immediately — the dentist shows the images on the monitor and explains the situation clearly and accessibly.

An important point: diagnostics are an essential part of all comprehensive services, including professional cleaning, caries treatment, endodontics, and prosthetics.
