Book an appointment for a CT Mandible at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, NABL-accredited and NABH-accredited. It is an advanced imaging procedure that is used to provide detailed cross-sectional images of the lower jaw (mandible), teeth, jaw joints, and the surrounding bone structures. It aids the physician in the diagnosis of fractures, infection, cysts, tumours, developmental abnormalities, and other diseases of the mandible. We have highly trained radiology personnel who use advanced CT technology to deliver prompt reporting and high-resolution images.

About CT Mandible

A CT scan is a non-invasive imaging procedure that takes detailed pictures of the lower jaw with X-rays and a computer, called CT Mandible. It is a great aid for visualizing the bony makeup of the mandible and can assist in the diagnosis of any abnormalities that may not be seen clearly on a traditional X-ray. The examination evaluates:

• Mandible: Body, ramus, angle, condyle, and other parts of the lower jaw
• Teeth: Dental structures and their relationship with the jaw
• Temporomandibular Joints: Condylar and adjacent bony structures
• Bone Structures: Cortical and trabecular bone abnormalities
• Surrounding Structures: Adjacent facial and oral structures as included in the scan

What is a CT Mandible?

A CT (computed tomography) of the mandible is an imaging procedure for taking detailed cross-sectional and reconstructed images of the lower jaw. It has a special application for complex fractures, abnormal bone conditions, infection, cysts, among others- tasks that demand detailed assessment of mandible anatomy. This scan is also performed before maxillofacial or dental surgery for pre-operative planning.

Common Reasons for CT Mandible

• Evaluation of mandibular fractures
• Facial or jaw trauma
• Suspected bone infection
• Evaluation of jaw cysts
• Suspected benign or malignant tumours
• Assessment of developmental abnormalities
• Evaluation of impacted teeth and their relationship to the mandible
• Pre-operative surgical planning
• Follow-up after treatment or surgery

Conditions Evaluated

Mandibular Fractures

Provides detailed visualization of fracture lines, displacement, and involvement of surrounding bony structures.

Jaw Infections

Helps identify bony changes and complications associated with infection of the mandible.

Cysts and Lesions

Can detect and characterize cystic or other lesions involving the jawbone.

Mandibular Tumours

Helps evaluate abnormal growths and their relationship with surrounding bony structures.

Temporomandibular Joint Abnormalities

Provides detailed assessment of the bony components of the mandibular condyle and TM joint.

Developmental Abnormalities

Helps assess structural and developmental abnormalities involving the mandible.

Who Should Consider This Scan?

Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:

• Have sustained an injury to the jaw or face
• Have persistent jaw pain or swelling
• Have suspected mandibular fracture
• Have a suspected cyst, lesion, or tumour
• Have suspected infection involving the jaw
• Require evaluation before dental or maxillofacial surgery
• Need follow-up imaging after treatment
