Abstract

The aim of this study quantifies the contribution of the non invasive and minimally invasive methods of paraclinic evaluation corroborated with the clinical aspects, a particularly important element being represented by the inter-relation between the general condition--oral pathology.

Material and method: The study group was represented by patients with ages between 18 and 35 years, diagnosed with partial edentation, with various problems of the general condition. To the same extent, with concern to the study group a special emphasis was placed on the paraclinical results and the therapeutic trajectories directed by the use of the diagnodent, without ignoring the role the digital radiography has in the diagnostic stage as well as the therapeutic one.

Results: The results obtained subsequent to the thermographic evaluation showed the initially hidden character of the general symptomatology, the patient being unaware of the presence of any pathology at the level of the apparatus and systems, factor which could have interfered negatively with the pathology specific to the field of dental medicine. Creating a hierarchy, the link offered by the thermogram between the systems and the dental segment is already known. The pathology under investigation, both at an oral level and at a general one pleads for the correlative aspects of the binomial dental unit--affected organ, the modifications of the thermographic trajectories for the somatic area analyzed after the specific therapy being eloquent.
