Lead by the desire to give the best to the patients of KP Dent Clinic, Dr Konstantin Petkov has focused on digital dentistry, but has not forgotten the importance of the skills of experienced professionals. Dr Petkov has specialised at the Siena University, the Medical University of Vienna and Malo Clinic in Lisbon. His interests are in the fields of restorative dentistry, implantology and treatment of the temporomandibular joint.

Can we say that digital dentistry is dentistry's future?

Digital dentistry is increasingly used in our practice, covering an ever-widening part of our activities. 3D X-ray equipment provides an overview of the whole situation. The condylograph precisely registers and shows the movement of the temporomandibular joint. The interdental scanner is possibly the most important digital tool. Together, these technologies allow us to properly analyse the problem, to use virtual simulation to consider different options and to choose the best way to solve it.

The new generation of dental scanners successfully replaces standard silicone casts and makes the procedure more bearable for the patient. With them we can easily spot faults in the models. The scanning takes about 2 minutes and we see the result immediately. The digital models are of exceptional quality and allow dental technicians to make crowns and veneers with precision to up to a couple of microns.

In diagnosis, we can directly show to patients their condition, what we can optimise and what we can solve. Digital technologies also allow to guide the implant to the best possible position for the tooth.

After the treatment ends, we can preserve the digital models and use them to track how a case has changed in time.

Which are the main steps in the treatment of patients who need a complete smile change?

We start with a general examination, an in-depth analysis of the situation and possible ways for restoration. Proper planning makes 80% of successful treatment.

We scan the teeth and take lots of photos and X-ray imaging to capture even the tiniest detail. Then, we process and analyse the information, and make the so-called digital smile design. We select the shape and size of teeth that look best on the client's face, visualise the future result and discuss it with the patient. When needed, we amend the model.

After the patient's approval, we prepare a mock-up project of the future teeth. Then we put it in on their actual teeth to see and analyse the result before the treatment starts. The patient "tries" their new smile and if needed, we make corrections.

The final step is the project's realisation with facets and crowns. The result is predictable, tested beforehand and lasting, and the patient goes through the entire process quickly, easily and gradually.

KP Dent: От дигитална към реална усмивка

Д-р Константин Петков за потенциала на съвременните технологии

Воден от желанието да даде най-доброто на пациентите на клиника KP Dent, д-р Константин Петков поставя акцент върху дигиталната стоматология – но без да забравя колко важни са уменията на опитния професионалист. Д-р Петков е специализирал в Университета в Сиена, Медицинския университет във Виена и Malo Clinic, Лисабон, а интересите му са в сферата на възстановителната дентална медицина, имплантологията и лечението на темпоро-мандибуларната става.

Можем ли да кажем, че дигиталната стоматология е бъдещето на денталната медицина?

Дигиталната дентална медицина все повече навлиза в практиката ни и обхваща все по-обширна област от дейността ни. 3D рентгеновите апарати дават поглед върху цялостната ситуация. Кондилографът точно регистрира и показва движенията на темпоро-мандибуларната става. Интраденталният скенер е може би най-важният дигитален инструмент. Заедно тези технологии ни позволяват да анализираме проблема в дълбочина, чрез виртуална симулация да разгледаме различни варианти и да изберем най-добрия път за решаването му.

Новото поколение дентални скенери успешно замества стандартните силиконови отпечатъци и прави процедурата по-поносима за пациента. С тях можем да открием пропуски в моделите. Сканирането отнема около 2 минути, като веднага виждаме резултата. Дигиталните модели са с изключително качество и позволяват на зъботехниците да изработят короните и фасетите с точност до няколко микрона.

При диагностиката можем директно да покажем на пациента ситуацията и какво бихме могли да оптимизираме и решим. Дигиталните технологии позволяват да поставим имплантите навигирано във възможно най-добрата позиция за съответния зъб.

След края на лечението можем да съхраним дигиталните модели и да следим как се променя даден случай във времето.

Кои са основните стъпки при лечението на пациент, който има нужда от цялостно преобразяване на усмивката?

Започваме с основен преглед, задълбочен анализ на ситуацията и възможни начини на възстановяване. 80% от успеха на лечението е в правилното планиране.

Сканираме съзъбието и правим внимателна фотодокументация и рентгенова диагностика, за да хванем и най-малкия детайл. След обработката и анализа на информацията правим т.нар. дигитален дизайн на усмивката. На база лицевите дадености подбираме най-правилните форма и размери на зъбите, визуализираме бъдещия резултат и го обсъждаме с пациентите. При нужда се нанасят корекции.

При одобрение от пациента изработваме mock-up проект на бъдещите зъби и го пренасяме върху зъбите му, за да видим и анализираме резултата преди началото на лечението. Пациентът "изпробва" новата си усмивка, като при необходимост правим корекции.

Последната стъпка е реализирането на проекта с фасети и корони. Резултатът е предвидим, предварително проверен и дълготраен, а пациентът преминава през целия процес бързо, леко и плавно.
