Medical ultrasound scanners are widely used in clinical medical diagnosis and are also widely used in the field of dentistry. As a non-invasive diagnostic method, medical ultrasound scanners can be used to examine the internal structure and lesions of the oral cavity, which is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment level of dentistry. However, at the same time, there will also be some challenges in application.

1、 The Application of Medical Ultrasonic Scanner in Stomatology

1. Comprehensive diagnosis

Medical ultrasound scanners, as a non-invasive examination technique in dentistry, are often used for the early diagnosis of various oral diseases, such as gingivitis, periodontitis, oral cancer, and other diseases. Unlike traditional examinations, ultrasound scanners can examine the internal structure of the oral cavity in a painless and non-invasive manner, thereby reducing patients' pain and anxiety, and improving their diagnosis and treatment experience.

2. Treatment guidance

Medical ultrasound scanners can also serve as guidance and examination tools for treatment in dentistry. For example, during endoscopic examination and treatment, doctors often rely on medical ultrasound scanners to check the condition of the inspected area. Ultrasound scanners can help doctors observe the condition of the tested area during the treatment process, guiding the formulation and adjustment of treatment plans.

3. Disease detection

Medical ultrasound scanners can also be used for lesion detection in dentistry. For example, in the early diagnosis of oral cancer, medical ultrasound scanners can help doctors detect abnormal lesions in the oral cavity and guide early intervention in cancer treatment.

2、 The challenges of medical ultrasound scanners in dentistry

Although medical ultrasound scanners are widely used in dentistry, they also face some challenges.

1. Technical difficulty

The application of medical ultrasound scanner technology requires specialized technical support, such as operating probes with good sensitivity and resolution. However, for most dentists, the technical training for ultrasonic scanners is not sufficient, and these technical difficulties also pose certain obstacles to their application.

2. Technology still needs improvement

There are still many difficulties and technological improvements in the technology of medical ultrasound scanners, such as limitations in probe design, imaging area, and imaging quality. There is still a certain gap in the imaging quality between current medical ultrasound scanners and imaging technologies such as MRI and CT.

3. Cost and resource constraints

Medical ultrasound scanners also have certain cost and resource limitations, such as the price of equipment and probes, as well as insufficient technical personnel, which result in the appropriateness and difficulty of machine utilization.

3、 Conclusion

Medical ultrasound scanners have a wide range of applications and development prospects in dentistry. Of course, further improvements and improvements in technology are also needed to achieve more accurate and efficient results. For medical staff, technical training on medical ultrasound scanners should also be strengthened to improve their mastery of skills. In the future, with more and more research, development, and clinical validation, the significance of medical ultrasound scanners in dentistry will become increasingly significant and worthy of good expectations.
