Dental & Maxillofacial Imaging

Maxillofacial Imaging

Advanced imaging of the face, jaws, and skull – including CBCT, OPG, and 3D reconstructions – for diagnosis of trauma, pathology, and complex surgical planning.

Overview

A complete view of your facial anatomy.

Maxillofacial imaging encompasses a suite of advanced imaging techniques designed to visualise the complex structures of the face, jaws, and skull – including bones, teeth, sinuses, temporomandibular joints, and soft tissues. It is essential for diagnosing a wide range of conditions – from trauma and fractures to cysts, tumours, and developmental anomalies – and for planning surgical interventions such as orthognathic surgery, implant placement, and facial reconstruction.

Using a combination of panoramic X‑ray (OPG), Cone Beam CT (CBCT), and, when indicated, conventional CT or MRI, our team provides comprehensive 3D assessments that reveal the intricate anatomy of the maxillofacial region. These images are indispensable for oral surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, ENT specialists, and orthodontists in delivering accurate diagnoses and safe, predictable treatment.

At Amytri Diagnostics, we use state‑of‑the‑art CBCT and digital imaging equipment with low‑dose protocols, ensuring high‑quality images with minimal radiation. Our experienced radiologists provide detailed reports with 3D reconstructions and precise measurements, supporting your specialist in every stage of care – from initial evaluation to post‑surgical follow‑up.

What maxillofacial imaging covers

  • Facial trauma assessment – fractures of the mandible, maxilla, zygoma, and orbital floor
  • Evaluation of cysts and tumours – odontogenic and non‑odontogenic lesions
  • Orthognathic surgery planning – 3D analysis of jaw relationships and surgical simulation
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment – condylar position, degenerative changes
  • Dental implant planning – bone volume, nerve mapping, sinus evaluation
  • Sinus evaluation – maxillary and frontal sinus pathology
  • Airway assessment – upper airway volume and patency (for sleep apnoea)
  • Assessment of impacted teeth – localisation and relationship to adjacent structures
  • 3D reconstruction and multiplanar reformatting – for surgical planning and patient education
Why it matters

Essential for accurate diagnosis & surgical success.

Maxillofacial imaging provides the detailed anatomical information needed to diagnose complex conditions and plan safe, effective treatments – from dental implants to facial reconstruction.

Detection

Identify hidden pathology

CBCT and 3D imaging reveal fractures, cysts, tumours, and other lesions that may not be visible on standard X‑rays, enabling early intervention.

Planning

Precise surgical planning

3D reconstructions allow virtual surgical simulation, customised implant placement, and the fabrication of surgical guides – reducing risks and improving outcomes.

Safety

Minimise complications

By mapping vital structures (nerves, sinuses, vessels), imaging reduces the risk of nerve injury, sinus perforation, and other surgical complications.

What we offer

Comprehensive maxillofacial imaging services.

We provide a full range of imaging modalities for the maxillofacial region, tailored to your clinical need.

OPG (Panoramic X‑ray)

A comprehensive overview of the entire maxillofacial region – useful for initial assessment of fractures, cysts, and gross pathology.

CBCT – Maxillofacial Protocol

High‑resolution 3D imaging with large field of view covering the entire face, jaws, and skull base – ideal for trauma, pathology, and surgical planning.

3D Reconstructions

Multiplanar and volume‑rendered reconstructions for clear visualisation of fractures, lesions, and anatomical relationships – essential for patient education and surgical planning.

Orthognathic Surgery Planning

Detailed cephalometric and 3D analysis for jaw correction surgeries – providing accurate measurements and virtual surgical simulation.

Trauma & Fracture Assessment

Precise localisation and characterisation of mandibular, maxillary, zygomatic, orbital, and nasal fractures – guiding optimal surgical repair.

Comprehensive Reporting

Our radiologists provide detailed, structured reports with measurements, 3D images, and clinical correlations – supporting your specialist in every step of care.

How it works

Your maxillofacial imaging journey, step by step.

01
Referral

Referral from your specialist

Your oral surgeon, maxillofacial surgeon, ENT, or orthodontist will refer you for the appropriate imaging based on your clinical needs.

02
Imaging

Image acquisition

You undergo the prescribed imaging (OPG, CBCT, and/or other modalities) at our centre. The process is quick, comfortable, and uses low‑dose protocols.

03
Reconstruction

3D reconstruction and analysis

Our radiologist reconstructs the data into 3D volumes, performs multiplanar reformatting, and analyses the images for pathology, measurements, and surgical planning.

04
Report

Comprehensive report

A detailed report with images, measurements, and clinical recommendations is prepared and shared with you and your specialist – enabling informed decision‑making.

Is it for you?

Maxillofacial imaging is recommended if any of these apply.

It is a key investigation for a wide range of conditions affecting the face, jaws, and skull.

Facial trauma or fractures

Accidents, falls, or sports injuries – CBCT provides detailed assessment of fracture patterns for optimal surgical repair.

Cysts, tumours, or other pathology

Lesions of the jaws, sinuses, or facial bones – imaging determines the extent, relationship to vital structures, and guides biopsy or surgical excision.

Orthognathic surgery planning

For correction of jaw discrepancies (overbite, underbite, open bite) – 3D imaging enables precise surgical simulation and outcome prediction.

Complex dental implant cases

When bone quality or anatomy is challenging, full‑field CBCT provides the necessary detail for safe implant placement.

TMJ disorders (complex)

When standard TMJ imaging is insufficient, maxillofacial CBCT or MRI provides detailed assessment of the joint and surrounding structures.

Airway and sleep apnoea evaluation

CBCT can assess the upper airway for obstruction, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea.
