A panoramic X-ray is a type of X-ray imaging used in dentistry to capture a comprehensive image of a patient’s mouth, including the teeth, upper and lower jaws, sinuses, and surrounding structures and tissues. The result of a panoramic X-ray is a two-dimensional image that encompasses the entire mouth area in a single shot.

Functions and Benefits of a Panoramic X-ray:

1. Diagnosing Dental and Jaw Problems: Panoramic X-rays are very useful for detecting issues such as impacted teeth, infections, cysts, tumors, and disorders of the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint).
2. Treatment Planning: The panoramic image helps dentists plan orthodontic treatments (such as braces), wisdom teeth extractions, or dental implant placements.
3. Detecting Hidden Issues: A panoramic X-ray can reveal problems in areas that are difficult to reach or not visible with a regular clinical examination, such as within the jawbone or sinuses.
4. Comprehensive Examination: Because it covers the entire mouth area, a panoramic X-ray provides a more complete view compared to standard dental X-rays (bitewing or periapical), which only show specific parts of the mouth.
