Panoramic X-Ray What?
Today’s technology in dental imaging brings with it more and more options. Benefiting from developing technology ensures better results from treatments. Panoramic x-ray is a type of film that shows the lower and upper jaw. The most important feature is that it reveals all the invisible details to the physician and helps the correct diagnosis and treatment.
Panoramic x-ray application, which enables the visualization of pathological formations in the teeth, jaw bones and jaw bones in a single film, is an important application for effective results in dental treatments.
Panoramic x-rays should be taken in order to make treatment planning faster and more completely, especially during oral diagnosis.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is there any harm?
Since a minimal amount of radiation is given, there is no harm, but we should take our precautions by dressing each patient in a lead apron.
Can X-Rays be taken during pregnancy?
As with many different x-rays, pregnant women should not have dental x-rays. Therefore, they should leave their x-rays and treatments to the postpartum period. Our advice to expectant mothers before planned pregnancies is to go to a dentist, have a panoramic x-ray, be examined, and solve dental problems, if any, before pregnancy. In addition, when there is a problem during pregnancy, the film they have taken will give the dentist a good idea about the current situation.
Is X-Ray mandatory?
Panoramic x-rays can be taken to view all the teeth and surrounding bone structures of the patient, although it is not mandatory in every examination. A healthier treatment plan is created by imaging many of the structures that cannot be seen in the mouth with the help of panoramic x-rays.
