OPG

An Orthopantomogram (OPG) is a panoramic dental X-ray technology that provides a comprehensive, two-dimensional view of the upper and lower jaws, teeth, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and surrounding structures. This non-invasive diagnostic tool is essential in modern dental care, offering a full-mouth overview in a single image with minimal radiation exposure.

• Comprehensive Panoramic Imaging: OPG (Orthopantomogram) provides a full 2D image of the entire mouth, including upper and lower jaws, teeth, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and sinuses in a single scan.
• Quick and Comfortable Procedure: The scan takes less than a minute and does not require placing sensors inside the mouth—ideal for patients with gag reflex or limited mouth opening.
• Low Radiation Exposure: OPG uses a minimal dose of radiation compared to full-mouth intraoral X-rays, making it a safer diagnostic tool for regular use.
• Early Detection of Dental Conditions: Helps in identifying impacted teeth, jaw fractures, bone abnormalities, cysts, tumors, infections, and developmental issues.
• Essential for Treatment Planning: Commonly used in orthodontics, implantology, oral surgery, and general dental evaluations to assist in precise treatment decisions.
• High Diagnostic Accuracy: Modern digital OPG machines provide high-resolution, real-time images for improved diagnosis and documentation.
• Enhanced Patient Communication: The panoramic image offers a clear visual that helps dentists explain conditions and treatment plans to patients effectively.
• Seamless Record Integration: Digital OPG systems can be integrated into dental practice software for easy storage, sharing, and comparison over time.
