Follow on Google News | Ottawa Dentistry Uses ICAT Scan to Take Guesswork out of Implant and TMJ TreatmentWith the help of a new ICAT machine in Ottawa, Ottawa dentist Dr. Pamela Li can more accurately plan implant and TMJ treatment.
By: dr. Pamela Li Thanks to the ICAT, dental implant surgery is far easier and less risky. Using the 3D scans, surgeons can accurately determine the best site for a dental implant based on bone mass, jaw structure, and the arrangement of teeth and roots. It is easier to plan the restorations of multiple implants if the dentist knows exactly where the implants will be placed ahead of time. Because of this, the procedure and results are much more predictable. “The new ICAT scanner is a great diagnostic tool for both my TMJ and implant patients,” said the Ottawa, ON dental implants provider. “Optimal implant placement provides the best long term anchorage and alignment of the restorations. And my TMD patients benefit from an accurate evaluation of the health and position of the temporamandibular joint. This has been traditionally a difficult area to treat.” Dr. Li’s TMD treatment incorporates non-invasive adjustments to the bite, achieving a natural and optimal alignment of the upper and lower jaw as well as the patient’s teeth. This can provide any number of results, including relief of jaw soreness, headaches, migraines, and other problems as well.
