THE COMPUTER-AIDED EXAMINATION (CAE)
We have designed a comprehensive examination that may take between 60 and 90 minutes, or even longer, when the problems presented are very complex. The exam covers always the following:
- cancer screening
- muscles exam
- temporo-mandibular joints (TMJ) exam
- teeth exam: old restorations, active problems
- gums exam (periodontal charting)
- bite exam (occlusion)
- esthetic exam
- intraoral computerized camera exam
- photographs
If needed, more investigations may be performed:
- radiographs (panoramic, periapical films, bite-wings, TMJ films, etc.)
- study casts of the dental arches
- face-bow recording of the hinge axis and bite records
- Doppler auscultation of TMJ noises
The examination is performed with the help of VICTOR DENTAL CHARTING software, the leading voice activated dental charting system, by Pro-Dentec in Batesville, AR.
The intra-oral computerized camera allows us to take snapshots of any condition in the mouth and enlarge it 50 times, for better diagnosis.
