Dental Panoramic Radiograph

Dental Panoramic Radiograph

A panoramic radiograph is a panoramic X-ray of the masticatory system, that is, the teeth and jaw bones. This diagnostic image allows the specialist to see lesions, the degree of tooth decay and of any infectious processes, teeth that are yet to emerge or the position of the bone structure, as well as whether there is sufficient bone where an implant is needed.

Tip: So as to ensure a good image is obtained, you must remain still during the x-ray, in the position the specialist indicates.
