Image for Orthopantomography

Orthopantomography

Orthopantomography, commonly known as a panoramic dental X-ray, is a imaging technique that captures a wide, comprehensive view of the entire upper and lower jaws, teeth, temporomandibular joints, and surrounding structures in a single image. Using a specialized machine, it provides crucial information for diagnosing dental and jaw issues, planning treatments, or assessing developmental stages. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and involves minimal radiation exposure. It helps dentists and oral surgeons identify problems like impacted teeth, cysts, tumors, bone abnormalities, and alignment issues more effectively than traditional intraoral X-rays.
