New 3D X-Ray Machine Set To Transform Dental Surgery


Dr. Neil Luyk unveiled the first 3-d imaging x-ray (Galileos dental and facial x-ray machine) on October 10, 2008. This 3-d x-ray machine will allow for much more accurate surgeries with a lower accident rate, as well as hopefully reducing the amount of damage to surrounding areas, such as nerves. The 3-d x-ray machine also eliminates the possibility of a normal two-dimensional x-ray machine hiding irregularities. This will definitely impact society for the better because of the possibilities that there will be less damage to the mouth and jaw region, as well as a lesser amount of sedation needed.
