While diagnostics are a core of dental treatments, it allows the dentist to visualise the problem and develop an intervention. With modern technology, it is now easier to make 3D pictures of the mouth with the help of digital scanners. The accurate precision and correct assessment of the dental structures are crucial to the most suitable dental procedure for the patients.
