OPG (Orthopantomogram)
An OPG (Orthopantomogram), also known as a panoramic dental X-ray
An OPG (Orthopantomogram), also known as a panoramic dental X-ray, is a specialized imaging technique that provides a comprehensive two-dimensional view of the upper and lower jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional intraoral X-rays, which capture images of individual teeth, an OPG captures the entire dental and jaw area in a single image, offering a holistic perspective essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
