Ultrasonography: A Potential Tool for Diagnostic and Interventional Applications in Prosthodontics
None:
The aim of this report is to highlight the potential of high-frequency ultrasonography (HFUS) as a diagnostic and interventional tool in fixed prosthodontics. HFUS enables a minimally invasive evaluation of the buccal, palatal, or lingual aspects, providing both transverse and horizontal sections of teeth and/or implant sites. By applying a conductive gel, bone, soft tissue, root, implant, abutment, and crown profiles can be effectively visualized. This approach might reduce the reliance on ionizing radiation while enhancing diagnostic accuracy and procedural predictability. HFUS demonstrates significant potential to advance clinical research and expand prosthodontic applications by providing a safe, non-invasive, and user-friendly imaging modality.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
