When forming a treatment plan, visual assessment and conventional radiography provide only limited insight into the actual clinical condition. As Professor Alexander von Breuer believes, the quality of planning is defined by the amount of diagnostic information available before intervention – which is why three-dimensional analysis has become a cornerstone of modern treatment preparation. At DentalClinic24, computed tomography is used not merely to confirm diagnosis but to evaluate potential risks in advance, helping determine the safest and most precise treatment strategy.
3D imaging provides layered visualisation of bone and soft tissue structures – including anatomical regions, root morphology, nerve canal pathways and sinus configuration. At DentalClinic24, we use this method in implant surgery, dental microsurgery, endodontic retreatment and complex prosthetic reconstruction. According to Professor von Breuer, accurate assessment of bone density and anatomical landmarks prevents trauma, reduces invasiveness and supports improved healing.
3D analysis is especially critical when planning implant placement or managing complications. At DentalClinic24, we determine the exact future position of the implant taking into account load vectors and occlusal dynamics. This allows us to place the implant in anatomically optimal orientation and minimise excessive stress on adjacent tissues. As Professor von Breuer notes, using computed tomography during treatment planning can reduce complication risk by more than half.
Computed tomography is also valuable for detecting hidden inflammatory processes and micro-defects that cannot be seen using conventional imaging. At DentalClinic24, we examine the condition of periapical structures and interradicular regions – an essential step when managing re-treatment or correcting the effects of unsuccessful previous therapy. 3D diagnostics enable us to determine the exact extent of the lesion and choose the least invasive and most biologically sustainable approach.
Beyond risk mitigation, 3D analysis enhances treatment predictability. At DentalClinic24, we model the projected final outcome before beginning the intervention – assessing potential complications, selecting the most appropriate protocol and structuring the treatment plan step by step. According to Professor von Breuer, digital planning significantly increases clinical precision and improves long-term outcome predictability from both functional and aesthetic perspectives.
Thanks to computed tomography, the clinician not only understands what treatment steps are required but can anticipate how biological structures will respond afterward. At Dental Clinic24, this approach is used as a diagnostic standard, especially in complex cases requiring multidisciplinary care.
