  2. WHAT ARE DENTAL X-RAYS? Utilizing X-ray machines, dental X-rays depict detailed images of teeth and surrounding structures. Through the emission of electromagnetic waves, these machines penetrate teeth, bone, and tissues to generate an image on a specific “film.” This imaging can be in either “analog” (conventional) or digital form. The spectrum of dental X-rays encompasses various types, including intraoral and extraoral, with Periapical and Panoramic X-rays being the most commonly employed.

  3. WHAT DO PERIAPICAL RADIOGRAPHS INVOLVE? Periapical radiographs, taken for each specific tooth, offer valuable insights into precise tooth placement, root anatomy, and the condition of the adjacent bone. Their application can encompass a thorough examination of all teeth present in the mouth.

  4. WHAT ARE PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHS? WHAT ARE PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHS? These radiographs offer a comprehensive “panoramic” view of the patient’s condition, providing a broader perspective by encompassing both jaws and adjacent structures like the maxillary sinuses, the base of the nostrils, and more.

  5. FOR WHAT REASONS MIGHT THE DENTIST REQUEST A DENTAL X-RAY? 1) Dental caries: ● By using X-rays, dentists can see cavities located between teeth (interproximal) that may be difficult to detect during a regular clinical examination, as well as visualize cavities forming beneath restorations. 2) Periodontitis: ● It is feasible to diagnose this ailment and commence its treatment to slow down its advancement. 3) Abscesses and dental cysts: ● These are not visible to the naked eye; radiographs are essential as they capture details at the apex (tip) level of the tooth. 4) Wisdom teeth: ● Utilizing these, we can observe their orientation and their interaction with nearby structures, assisting in the determination of whether extraction or retention in the mouth is necessary.

  6. WHY ARE X-RAYS IMPORTANT FOR DENTISTS? 1) They enhance the clinical assessment of a patient and play a vital role in every phase of treatment. By corroborating and adding to the initial diagnosis, they facilitate tailored treatment planning for each patient. 2) They serve as a complementary diagnostic tool across all dental specialties, not only aiding in the initial diagnosis and treatment planning but also in immediate control. Moreover, they enable the assessment of treatment quality, spanning endodontics, restorations, fixed rehabilitations, implants, cystic lesions, tumor lesions, dental trauma, maxillofacial trauma, and more. 3) These radiographs go hand in hand with the clinical evaluation of a patient, providing invaluable support throughout the treatment journey. They validate and enhance the initial diagnosis, allowing for personalized treatment planning. Additionally, they act as a supplementary diagnostic asset across dental specialties, serving in both the initial diagnostic and treatment planning phases, as well as immediate monitoring. Furthermore, they aid in evaluating treatment quality across a spectrum of dental and maxillofacial conditions.
