This advanced imaging modality provides valuable information for diagnosing various dental and oral conditions and is an essential tool in dentistry and oral surgery. At Aktif International Hospitals, we offer comprehensive panoramic X-ray services performed by experienced radiologists using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure accurate and detailed imaging results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a panoramic X-ray, and why is it important?

A panoramic X-ray is a specialized dental X-ray that captures a panoramic view of the entire oral cavity, including the teeth, jaws, temporomandibular joints (TMJs), and surrounding structures. This imaging technique provides valuable information for diagnosing a wide range of dental and oral conditions, including tooth decay, gum disease, jaw abnormalities, impacted teeth, oral infections, and oral tumors. Panoramic X-rays are commonly used in routine dental examinations, treatment planning for orthodontic and oral surgery procedures, and evaluating oral health in general.

How is a panoramic X-ray performed?

During a panoramic X-ray procedure, the patient stands or sits in an upright position while the X-ray machine rotates around the head in a semicircular motion. The patient bites down on a bite block or rests their chin on a chin rest to ensure proper positioning and alignment. The X-ray machine emits a focused beam of X-rays that pass through the oral structures and are captured by a digital sensor or film on the opposite side. The entire process takes only a few seconds, and the resulting panoramic image provides a comprehensive view of the entire mouth in a single image.

What are the benefits of panoramic X-ray imaging?

Panoramic X-ray imaging offers several benefits, including:

Comprehensive view: Panoramic X-rays provide a single, panoramic image of the entire oral cavity, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of dental and oral health.
Convenience: Panoramic X-rays are quick and easy to perform, requiring minimal patient cooperation and positioning compared to other dental imaging techniques.
Diagnostic accuracy: Panoramic X-rays can detect a wide range of dental and oral conditions, including those that may not be visible during a visual examination.
Treatment planning: Panoramic X-rays are essential for treatment planning in orthodontics, oral surgery, dental implant placement, and other dental procedures, helping dentists and oral surgeons develop effective treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
