Digital Panaromic X-Ray

Radiographic, or X-ray, examinations provide our team of dentists at Trisa Dental Solutions with an important tool that shows the condition of your teeth, its roots, jaw placement and the overall composition of your facial bones. X-rays can help our dentist to determine the presence or degree of periodontal (Gum) disease, abscesses and many abnormal growths, such as cysts and tumors. Rvg X-rays (Digital Dental X-ray) also can show the exact location of impacted and unerupted teeth. They can pinpoint the location of cavities and other signs of disease that may not be possible to detect through a visual examination.In most cases, new patients require a full set of mouth X-rays to evaluate oral health status, including any underlying signs of gum disease, and for future comparison. Follow-up patients may require X-rays to monitor their gum condition or their chance of tooth decay.

A panoramic radiograph is a panoramic scanning dental X-ray of the upper and lower jaw. It shows a two-dimensionalview of a half-circle from ear to ear. Panoramic radiography is a form of tomography; thus, images of multiple planesare taken to make up the composite panoramic image, where the maxilla and mandible are in the focal trough and the structures that are superficial and deep to the trough are blurred.
Other nonproprietary names for a panoramic radiograph are dental panoramic radiograph and pantomogram; trade names are Panorex and Orthopantomograph (genericized versions of the latter, such as orthopantomography ororthopantomogram, are best avoided in favor of the other nonproprietary names). Abbreviations include PAN, DPR,OPT, and OPG (the latter, based on genericizing a trade name, are often avoided in medical editing).
