Orthopantomogram (OPG) X-Ray - Dental CT Scanning Services UK - CT Dent Ltd. Dental X-rays (Radiographs) can take multiple formats to visualise different teeth of interest. To name a few these may include Periapical x-rays, which show a single tooth from root to crown and Bite-wing X-rays, which are used to observe potential decay in molar teeth. At CT Dent our specialised X-rays include Orthopantomogram (OPG) and Cephalometric (CEPH) X-rays, providing you with full face-on panoramic and side view (lateral CEPH) dental x-rays, respectively. OPG X-rays An Orthopantomogram x-ray (OPG x-ray) is a wide-view, panoramic x-ray of the patients upper and law jaw, and associated dentition from root to crown, in a single image - which is not possible with periapical or Bite-wing x- rays. A digital OPG x-ray is especially helpful in planning of orthodontic dental brace treatment, as it provides a full overview of the teeth, and highlights non-erupted and/or impacted teeth. A further advantage of an OPG x-ray is that can help assess a patient’s wisdom teeth and reveal whether a patient has potential Temporomandibular (TMJ) joint problems.
