Panoramic X-ray
A radiograph that captures the entire jaw in a single image.
Because the upper and lower teeth, jawbone, maxillary sinus, and the position of wisdom teeth can be reviewed at a glance, it serves as a basis for overall diagnosis. It is used to assess decay and periodontal condition, impacted teeth, and to plan implant treatment.
