Treatment of caries in Odontologique

Odontologique is a multi-specialty dental clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Diagnostic imaging and advanced treatment planning happen in the same center. Its team of 18 doctors covers a range of dental specialties, so patients get all their care in one place.

Specialized Medical Team and Expertise

Clinical Director Dr. Alicia Navarro leads the clinic. She specializes in restorative and preventive dentistry. Many of the doctors combine extensive clinical work with academic experience.

• Dr. Carlos Tejada Miquí has over 35 years of experience in periodontics and implants. He is a postgraduate faculty member at the Catholic University of Santo Domingo.
• Dr. Raúl Del Toro has over 14 years of experience. He specializes in invisible orthodontics and maxillary orthopedics.
• Dr. Erick Mota focuses on dental implants. He completed advanced training in Spain.
• Dr. Manuel Sanabia holds certified training from Styleitaliano in cosmetic and restorative procedures.

Several team members belong to professional organizations. These include the Dominican Society of Periodontics and SODONI for pediatric care.

Dental Specialties and Digital Workflow

The clinic uses a Digital in House laboratory workflow. This speeds up oral rehabilitation with veneers, crowns, and bridges. Digital tools help doctors design, make, and place prosthetics and implants.

The Maxillofacial Surgery department handles complex oral and facial conditions. Specialists perform orthognathic surgery to correct jaw misalignment. They remove oral tumors and cysts as well. Routine surgery is available too, including wisdom tooth extractions and sinus lifting.

For gum disease, the periodontics team performs scaling and root planing. This removes bacterial plaque from above and below the gum line. Patients then come back every 3 to 6 months, so the gum problems don't return.

Dr. Isaury Castillo leads pediatric dentistry at the clinic. The department treats children from birth to age 13. Doctors pay close attention to how a child's teeth and face develop. Kids learn proper brushing techniques in a calm, empathetic setting.

Advanced Diagnostic and Treatment Technology

Odontologique has its own radiology center with OWANDY imaging systems. These produce high-resolution images, so doctors can plan treatment precisely. Digital scanning replaces traditional impressions, which many patients find more comfortable.

Key diagnostic and planning technologies include:

• Cone Beam CT Scan and mandibular CT
• Intraoral scanning and Cerec Omnicam
• 3D digital imaging and 3D printers
• DIAGNOCam for early caries detection
• Electronic axiography for jaw movement analysis
• Florida Probe for periodontal pocket measurement

A dedicated sterilization area keeps every instrument sterile. This prevents cross-contamination during surgical and restorative procedures.

International Patient Services

Under the clinic's "integral care" model, all diagnostic work and treatment take place in one location. This suits international patients well. Since everything is coordinated in-house, planning complex dental rehabilitation is faster and simpler. The team includes Dr. Yamil Asjana, a national speaker on restorative philosophies. Dr. Estefanía Sanabia focuses on apical micro-surgery. Both specialists consult on surgical and aesthetic cases within the same center.
