Panoramic radiography is a technique that provides an image of the lower and upper jaws together with the teeth and adjacent anatomical structures in a single view. The low radiation dose is its greatest advantage. It is used in the detection of jaw fractures, the position of wisdom teeth, large lesions, and bone diseases.
A panoramic dental X-ray is a digital radiography method that allows the examination of the teeth, jawbones, temporomandibular joints, and surrounding tissues on a single image. As one of the most commonly used imaging techniques in dentistry, a panoramic X-ray provides fast and comprehensive information about the general condition of the oral and jaw structure.
It is an important aid in evaluating dental caries, impacted teeth, bone loss, jaw developmental disorders, and various oral and dental problems. Thanks to the imaging procedure, which is completed in a short time, it offers patients a comfortable imaging experience.
