Orthopantomogram

OPG (Orthopantomogram) is a type of panoramic dental X-ray that provides a wide, 2D image of the entire mouth, including the teeth, upper and lower jaws, and surrounding areas, such as the sinuses and temporomandibular joints (TMJ). It’s often used in dentistry to assess dental conditions and plan treatments.

Key Features of OPG:

1. Wide Coverage: Unlike traditional X-rays, which focus on a specific area or tooth, an OPG captures the entire mouth in a single image, showing both the upper and lower jaw, the teeth, and the surrounding bones.

2. Indications: OPG is used for:

   • Assessing impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth
   • Evaluating bone structure before dental implants
   • Detecting cysts, tumors, or abnormalities in the jaw and teeth
   • Monitoring growth and development in children and adolescents
   • Examining the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) for disorders
   • Planning orthodontic treatments and surgeries

3. Advantages:

   Non-invasive: The procedure is simple and doesn’t require the use of contrast agents or any invasive procedures.
   Comprehensive View: OPG gives a broad view, making it easier to spot multiple issues in one image.
