Ultrasonography (USG)
OPG (Orthopantomogram)
An Orthopantomogram is a specialized dental X-ray that captures a detailed panoramic image of your entire mouth, including the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays that focus on specific areas, an OPG provides a broader perspective, enabling a more comprehensive assessment of your dental and oral health.
Key Features and Benefits:
Comprehensive View: The panoramic nature of an OPG allows us to examine your entire oral cavity in a single image. This is particularly useful for assessing the relationships between different structures and identifying potential issues that may not be visible in traditional X-rays.
Efficiency and Comfort: OPGs are quick and comfortable to perform, minimizing the time you spend in the dental chair. The process involves a simple positioning of the machine, and you will be asked to bite on a support to ensure a clear and accurate image.
Diagnostic Accuracy: OPGs are a valuable diagnostic tool for a range of dental issues, including the evaluation of wisdom teeth, detection of dental infections, assessment of jaw joint problems (temporomandibular joint or TMJ), and identification of bone abnormalities.
Treatment Planning: The detailed information obtained from an OPG aids in developing precise and effective treatment plans. Whether you require oral surgery, orthodontic treatment, or general dental care, the insights gained from an OPG contribute to a more informed and tailored approach to your dental needs.
