OPG (orthopantomogram) dental imaging represents orthopantomographic technique imaging and is one of the most commonly applied imaging techniques in dentistry. In this way, a digital panoramic image of the temporomandibular joints, upper and lower jaws, sinuses, as well as all teeth and bone structures, is obtained. Such a two-dimensional representation obtained using X-ray beams gives us a picture of half a circle, from ear to ear. Since this kind of image has the form of tomography, by combining multiple images, one panoramic view is obtained. The normally curved structure of the jaw is thus obtained in a flat view, which facilitates the analysis of each individual part.
OPG dental imaging is an extraoral, two-dimensional technique also known as "large imaging of both jaws," and it is of invaluable importance. It is characterized by economy, while the patient, thanks to the most advanced technology currently available in the dental diagnostic market, is protected from unnecessary radiation. This diagnostic method is becoming increasingly popular because the image it provides allows for the control of bone height, reveals the existence of periapical changes, jaw cysts, major tooth decay, unerupted wisdom teeth, tumors and other deformities, as well as the amount of bone loss due to periodontal disease. Since it provides insight into the entire oral region, genetic anomalies, reasons for the absence of certain teeth, and the connection of teeth to sinus inflammation are also visible from it. The panoramic image obtained in this way is also used to connect systemic diseases and syndromes with the orofacial area. It is indispensable in implant-prosthetic therapy and planning prosthetic work. As a conventional radiological method, it can also be used to display fractures of the lower jaw.
OPG dental imaging is essential before major interventions, for tooth replacement, or orthodontic treatments. It can be very precise, and based on it, larger structures are analyzed and anatomical relationships are observed. The devices that our clinic possesses produce top-quality, high-resolution, and sharp images with a minimal dose of radiation in a record time. Such digital images improve our quality of work and allow for simple analysis of the obtained image, as well as software processing on a computer, and thus a better representation of details. Dental imaging in our clinic is performed by professional staff specially trained for these types of imaging, and educated and experienced dentists are in charge of monitoring their work.
