Oral diseases are an important component of people's health, including various diseases such as teeth, periodontal tissue, and oral mucosa. Accurate diagnosis of oral diseases is crucial for treatment and prevention. As a new diagnostic tool, medical ultrasonic scanner has shown its unique advantages in the field of Oral medicine. This article will delve into the role of medical ultrasound scanners in the diagnosis of oral diseases and demonstrate their potential in improving oral health.

Background Introduction:

In traditional methods of diagnosing oral diseases, doctors usually rely on imaging examinations such as X-rays and CT scans of teeth, as well as tools such as oral examination equipment and endoscopes for diagnosis. However, these traditional methods have some shortcomings, such as large Radiation exposure and low image resolution. Medical ultrasound scanners are a non radiative, non-invasive imaging tool with good imaging quality and safety, which has gradually been widely used in the diagnosis of oral diseases.

The principle of medical ultrasound scanner:

Medical ultrasound scanners use the high-frequency vibration characteristics of ultrasound to obtain imaging information of human internal tissues. Specifically, it sends high-frequency sound waves to the body through sensors and records the echo signal. Then, the computer generates a series of images based on the received echo signal, which are used to display the internal structure of the oral cavity and the location and size of its abnormalities.

The application of medical ultrasound scanners in the diagnosis of oral diseases:

1. Diagnosis of dental and periodontal tissue diseases: Medical ultrasound scanners can help dentists diagnose dental and periodontal tissue diseases more accurately. It can detect lesions such as caries and pulpitis inside teeth, as well as indicators such as inflammation of the gums and depth of periodontal pockets. By accurately measuring these indicators, doctors can better evaluate the oral health status of patients and develop corresponding treatment plans.

2. Diagnosis of oral mucosal diseases: Oral mucosal diseases are one of the common problems in the oral field. Medical ultrasound scanners can help doctors accurately detect the location, shape, and size of oral mucosal lesions. This is very important for early detection and diagnosis of gingivitis, Aphthous stomatitis and other diseases, so as to take appropriate treatment measures in time.

3. Diagnosis of alveolar bone disease: Medical ultrasound scanners can also help doctors evaluate the condition of patients' alveolar bones. Through ultrasound, doctors can observe the density and shape of alveolar bone and its relationship with teeth, so as to judge whether there is Periodontal disease, tooth displacement and other problems. This is very important for the evaluation before dental implantation surgery to ensure the success of the surgery.

4. Early screening of potential lesions: Medical ultrasound scanners can also assist doctors in early screening of potential oral lesions. For example, it can be used to screen jaw cysts, oral tumors and other lesions, as well as related vascular and neural structures. By early detection of these potential lesions, doctors can take early treatment measures to improve patients' survival rate and quality of life.

Conclusion:

Medical ultrasound scanners, as an emerging diagnostic tool, play an important role in oral diseases. It not only helps doctors diagnose oral diseases more accurately, but also provides a strong basis for formulating treatment plans. With the continuous progress of technology, it is believed that the application of medical ultrasonic scanner in the field of Oral medicine will continue to be expanded and make greater contributions to the improvement of oral health. Therefore, in the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases, we should actively promote the development and application of medical ultrasound scanners.
