Hellenic Society of Dental & Maxillofacial Radiology

An Oral & Maxillofacial Radiologist is a dentist specialized in imaging and diagnosing diseases involving the teeth, bones, and soft tissues of the oral and facial regions.

They perform and interpret advanced imaging studies, including panoramic, cephalometric, and three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. CBCT technology, in particular, provides highly detailed images of the jawbones, teeth, and surrounding anatomical structures.

Oral & Maxillofacial Radiologists are skilled in identifying conditions such as infections, tumors, cysts, bone lesions, developmental abnormalities, and other pathologies affecting the oral cavity and facial structures.

They collaborate closely with dentists, oral surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, and various medical specialists to develop comprehensive treatment plans, facilitate implant placement, and manage complex clinical cases.

Ultimately, Oral & Maxillofacial Radiologists play an essential role in the early and accurate diagnosis, effective treatment planning, and management of oral and facial diseases.
