Visiography
Visiography is a popular diagnostic procedure in modern dentistry that is used to take targeted pictures of teeth. A visiograph, an electronic X-ray, is used to perform it. It allows the examination to be performed directly in the dental chair, giving the dentist the accuracy needed while minimising the radiation exposure of the patient.
At DENTART Clinic in Kyiv, quality diagnosis is given extra attention. We use a state-of-the-art X-ray imaging machine to take a targeted picture very quickly, safely and comfortably for you. The information obtained from the rapid procedure helps our doctors to diagnose and select the best treatment for you.

ADVANTAGES OF VISIOGRAPHY
A targeted image taken with a visiographic X-ray scanner has such strengths:
- Accurate and reliable diagnostic results. A clear, informative picture is displayed on the screen to help you make the right diagnosis and decide on treatment.
- Minimum radiation load. It is 10 times less than a normal X-ray. This means that visiography is more appropriate for children, pregnant women and those patients who undergo frequent X-ray examinations throughout the year.
- The speed at which it is carried out is high. The diagnostic procedure is performed directly in the dental chair, without the need for a trip to the X-ray room. You won't have to wait long for the result either - the aim image is literally available to your doctor online.
- Absence of age-related contraindications. Visiography can even be done on young children.
- Additional digital benefits. The resulting image can be easily and conveniently stored or sent to other specialist doctors (for additional consultations, for example), it will not get lost like film, but it can also be printed if necessary.
What is a visiograph?
A radiovisiography (aka radiovisiograph) is a machine with a compact sensor that is placed in the mouth for diagnosis. The device is also equipped with a special converter, which immediately generates a digital image that the dentist can view on a computer or tablet screen. That is why another name of the visiograph is electronic X—ray. Printing on the dental film is no longer necessary, which only adds to the convenience of both the patient and the dentist.
Why is the visiography performed in DENTART in kyiv?
Electronic X-rays at our clinic are used to take targeted pictures of one or more adjacent teeth. With the help of visiography , you can:
- detect the extent of dental caries, including reliably distinguishing between medium and deep dental caries;
- detect hidden carious cavities that are not noticeable during a visual examination of the oral cavity;
- diagnose various common dental pathologies, including pulpitis, periodontitis, etc;
- control the quality of treatment of tooth canals;
- clarify data from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) or other instrumental examinations.
Only the doctor who is treating you determines the indication for a visitogram. He or she also decides whether this type of examination is suitable for you in your particular case or whether another diagnostic procedure, such as a CT scan, is needed.
