Panoramic X-ray

During the initial dental examination, the dentist can see only half of the tooth — the crown and part of the tooth root — while the rest remains hidden. To obtain a complete picture, an X-ray is required. Before treating a serious dental condition, a panoramic X-ray is performed to provide a detailed view of the entire dentition and identify potential issues.

What does the X-ray show?

It helps to determine:

• Contact between teeth not visible during a visual examination;

• Root caries;

• Cysts or bone formations;

• Teeth that have not yet erupted and primary teeth;

• Granulomas and the condition of the sinuses.

X-rays are also taken during the removal of wisdom teeth or other extractions. A common question is — at what age is it safe to perform an X-ray? The examination can be done from an early age, typically from 5–6 years. The procedure lasts about 30 seconds, and the radiation dose is only 0.02 mSv.

Which dental treatments or procedures require a panoramic X-ray?

• Dental implant placement — crowns and other implants;

• Orthodontic treatment with braces;

• Periodontal treatment to determine the stage of the disease;

• Surgical tooth extractions, including complex or wisdom tooth removal;

• Analysis of tooth development in children and jaw growth prediction;

• Early detection of bone diseases.
