Complex diagnostics is a survey technique, which makes it possible to determine existent derangements, functional teeth overload and to institute therapy. As it is known, the dentition consists of jaws, temporomandibular joints, masticatory musculature, nerves, vessels, salivary glands, lymph nodes, teeth with their occlusal complex and parodentium tissues. Being healthy, these components function physiologically and morphologically synchronously. Derangements, changes or diseases of one of the components of masticatory system may influence the condition of its other structures.

Complex diagnostics is carried out according to the examination design with subsequent discussion of results with a patient and treatment planning at general consultation.

Complex diagnostics includes:

1. Patient’s primary inspection:

patient complaints
dental history taking
physical examination data filling
dental formula filling
parodontic card filling
oral cavity physical examination
oral hygiene index determination
upper and lower jaw impression taking for making of diagnostic casts

Computed tomography
Orthopantomography - which is a panoramic image of teeth and temporomandibular joints.
Teleradiography - an image which makes it possible to define a skeletal jaw relation, the height of face lower one-third, occlusal plane angle of slope, etc.
Upper and lower jaw casts analysis in articulator - a device which displays the movements of the lower jaw.
Computerized axiography - is an extra examination technique for the purpose of the determination of temporomandibular joint articulated axis. Graphical display of the lower jaw movements permits to define the pathology related to the joint and muscles.
Clinical and functional diagnostics card filling, which includes general medical and dental history data, determination of the occlusal index, palpation of muscles and temporomandibular joints, neurologic examination, occlusion analysis.
Photostatic analysis (photos in different projections).
Work with “Gamma Dental” program, which makes it possible to plan a multimodality therapy by means of axiography and teleradiography data.
MPI examination, with the help of which one can study the dislocation of articular heads in glenoid fossae in mm from the beginning of start position in 3 planes.
MPV examination, which permits to make a repositioning occlusal splint for patients with temporomandibular joints dislocation problems.
The demonstration of patient’s oral cavity state by means of intraoral camera.

The patient may be assigned to additional examinations when necessary: pulp vitality test (PVT), microbiological tests, clinical blood analyses, instrumental examination of organs and systems, allied specialist consultation.

Complex functional diagnostics is for You if:

You’re 40 or elder
Your enamel is too much rubbed away
You plan or have already had a large-scale dental treatment
You’ve been done prosthetics
You’ve malocclusion, bruxism, clicking of mandibular joint during mastication, headaches, disproportionate development of jaws, odontoloxia, etc.

Complex functional diagnostics is one of the main survey techniques during the planning of surgical treatment (implantation), which makes it possible to determine the conditions under which future construction supported on implants will function and to eliminate an occlusal trauma, which can be the proximate cause of implant loss in future.

The cost of complex diagnostics (general consultation with key specialists and treatment planning) is 2500 hrn.
