Panoramic radiography (OPG)
A single image covering both jaws, the teeth, the sinuses and the joints — the usual starting point for general dental and orthodontic assessment.
A panoramic radiograph shows the upper and lower teeth, the jaw bone, the maxillary sinuses and the temporomandibular joints in one image. It is normally the first step in a general assessment.
Common uses
- Assessing wisdom teeth and other impacted teeth
- General evaluation before orthodontic or prosthetic treatment
- Investigating jaw lesions and cysts
- Following healing after surgery
During the scan
You will stand or sit with your chin on a rest while the unit rotates around your head for roughly 15–20 seconds. You need to stay still and, when asked, hold your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
