The Different Types of Digital Radiology
- Panoramic X-rays: These images show an overview of the mouth, including the upper and lower teeth, jaw bone, and maxillary sinuses. They are often used to assess the overall health of the mouth and to plan treatments such as Panoramic X-rays, orthodontic treatments, or wisdom teeth extraction.
- Intraoral X-rays: These images are taken inside the mouth and show more detailed views of each individual tooth. They are often used to assess the health of teeth, visualize cavities, periodontium, and tooth roots.
- Cone Beam: Computed tomography is a dental imaging technique used to obtain three-dimensional (3D) images of bone, teeth and surrounding structures. This technique is often used in dentistry for dental implant planning, bone grafting or for planning complicated extractions.
- Profile teleradiography: Is a diagnostic technique used in orthodontics to obtain a detailed picture of the position of teeth, jaw bones and skull. It is used to assess growth and development of teeth and bone bases and thus planning orthodontic treatments such as the installation of dental appliances.
