Dental radiology refers to the use of various forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as X-rays, to produce images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding tissues. These images are used by dentists and oral health care professionals to diagnose and treat various conditions, including cavities, gum disease, tumors, and impacted teeth.
There are several different types of dental radiology, including traditional X-rays, digital X-rays, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and panoramic X-rays. Each of these imaging modalities provides a different type of information and is used in specific situations based on the clinical needs of the patient.
Dental radiology is considered a safe and effective tool in oral health care. Before undergoing any type of dental radiology, it is important to inform your dentist of any medical conditions or pregnancy status, as well as any allergies or sensitivities to materials used during the imaging process.
Types of Dental Radiology
X-Ray:- Dental X-rays are images of your teeth that dentists use to evaluate your oral health.
Digital X-Ray: Digital X-Ray is a type of X-Ray that uses digital X-Ray sensors rather than traditional photographic film. The advantages of digital X-rays include time efficiency through the transfer and enhancement of images digitally on a computer.
Panoramic X-rays: Panoramic X-rays are a type of dental X-ray that is used to scan the upper and lower jaws. It shows a two-dimensional view of the teeth and surrounding structures for a clear picture and diagnosis.
