Generator and operating microscope for the operating room in Forte dei Marmi

Versilia Dental Institute in Forte dei Marmi is equipped with the most modern and innovative equipment. Among these are the operating room generator and the operating microscope, which magnifies details up to 20 times, allowing the resolution of even the most complex clinical cases.

State-of-the-art microscope

The operating microscope is particularly used for thorough cleaning of caries during endodontic procedures.

At the dental institute in Forte dei Marmi, the use of the operating microscope allows for more durable and resistant reconstructions, as the cavity is filled with extreme precision.

What is it for?

Our practice employs the use of the electron microscope across various branches of dentistry: endodontics, surgery, prosthetics, conservative dentistry, and implants.
Scientific evidence

According to modern scientific journals, "the use of the microscope in dentistry, although rightly still confined to specialised areas, plays a significant professionalising role for the modern dentist."
Diagnostics

Its use can improve accurate diagnosis: in optimal visibility conditions, it can be useful for examining dental elements with particular anatomies and complex restorations, and in diagnosing periodontal therapies. It is stated that there is no precise indication for the use of the microscope, but its use certainly offers more security to the dentist and assurance to the patient.

Emergency and prevention

The presence of a generator in the operating room is essential for performing procedures safely: the generator at the institute in Forte dei Marmi can power operating rooms with 22kW of electricity, preventing dangerous interruptions to procedures due to potential power outages.

Emergency devices

At Versilia Dental Institute in Forte dei Marmi, oral and dental surgery procedures and check-ups are performed daily.

Although cardiopulmonary emergencies are rare, the practice is equipped with all the necessary technology to quickly and safely address such situations, including the operating room generator and microscope.

Conscious sedation

Thanks to new technologies, we can now calm our patients with nitrous oxide; inhaled aerosol

that induces relaxation and helps us manage dental appointments more calmly.

Comfort and tranquillity

Fear of the dentist causes anxiety and distress in both children undergoing dental procedures and the parents accompanying them. Eliminating these emotional states can make a visit to the dentist extremely pleasant.

For adults and children

Conscious sedation with oxygen and nitrous oxide is a sedative analgesia technique that finds its ideal application in paediatric dentistry.

What is it?

Conscious sedation (also known as sedation anaesthesia) is an anaesthetic technique with nitrous oxide and oxygen that aims to induce a state of relaxation, promoting amnesia and pain control.

The result is that the patient, while remaining conscious, feels no pain and, most importantly, has no memory of the procedure.

Radiographic technology

In the diagnostic phase, radiography is essential. For this reason, Versilia Dental Institute provides its patients with all the necessary technology to ensure safety during their treatments. We benefit from the presence of a Carestream radiographic machine, which allows us to acquire three types of radiographs:

Cephalometric X-ray
OPT (Orthopantomogram)
Cone Beam CT
Digital X-rays

1. Cephalometric X-ray

This method, alongside panoramic dental X-rays, is necessary for analysing and planning orthodontic treatment. It involves a lateral projection of the head, taken with specific equipment.

Why is it done? This image provides the dentist with information about the patient's cranial structure and the position of the teeth. Using cephalometric tracings, the dentist can measure and determine if the position of the maxillary bones and teeth is correct.

How is it performed? The patient stands with their head held high, aligned with positioning markers, must keep their teeth in contact without clenching, and should close their teeth. It is contraindicated for pregnant women and those with non-removable metal objects.

2.OPT

This type of radiograph provides a comprehensive view of the dental arches, showing the teeth and the arches of the maxillary and mandibular bones. It is important for a complete check-up during the initial visit but must be complemented with intraoral X-rays.

Preparation: remove earrings, necklaces, metallic objects, and piercings. It is contraindicated for pregnant women. The procedure is very simple for the patient.

3.Cone Beam CT

This method, used alongside panoramic dental X-rays, is essential for analysing and planning orthodontic treatment. It involves a detailed scan of the head, performed with specialised equipment.

Why is it done? This image provides detailed information about the patient's cranial structure and the position of the teeth, allowing for precise measurement to assess if the position of the maxillary bones and teeth is correct.

How is it performed? The patient stands with their head held high, aligned with positioning markers, must keep their teeth in contact without clenching, and should close their teeth. It is contraindicated for pregnant women and those with non-removable metal objects.

4.Digital X-ray

Considered one of the primary diagnostic tests, digital X-rays allow for examination of the patient's dental anatomy. They are crucial for diagnostic control during the initial visit, in conjunction with OPT.

Our practice uses digital radiographic equipment with immediate acquisition and storage in a database linked to the patient’s personal medical records. The benefits of this technology include a reduction in X-ray exposure by up to 75%, simplified procedures, immediate result visualisation, digital archiving, and increased environmental respect as no waste is generated.

Intraoral digital impression

Thanks to new technologies, we can avoid traditional alginate impressions and switch to the simplicity of intraoral scanning. The scan is easily obtained by reproducing the entire arch in natural colour.

Advantages: The slim, lightweight scanner fits comfortably in the hand, allowing for quick and easy imaging. With digital impressions, we acquire continuous video footage through a small camera, reaching every area of the oral cavity without causing discomfort or nausea, unlike conventional impressions.
