OPG (Orthopantomogram)
An Orthopantomogram, or OPG, is a special type of dental X-ray that provides a panoramic view of your entire mouth. It captures the teeth, upper and lower jaws, jaw joints, and surrounding structures in a single image. This helps dentists identify issues like cavities, impacted teeth, infections, bone disorders, and jaw problems efficiently. The procedure involves standing or sitting in front of a machine that rotates around your head, taking about a minute. It's a safe, non-invasive way to get a comprehensive picture of your oral health, aiding accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
