Types of X-Rays/Imaging in Ozone Clinics:
- 1. Plain Dental X-Ray (Intraoral/Periapical): These are common, detailed images taken inside the mouth to view individual teeth, from the crown to the root, aiding in the detection of decay, root infections, and surrounding bone issues.
- 2. Panoramic X-Ray (OPG): A 2D extraoral X-ray that captures the entire mouth—including all teeth, both jaws, sinuses, and TMJ (jaw joints)—on one image. It is used for assessing impacted teeth, jaw abnormalities, and for planning full or partial dentures and implants.
- 3. Cephalometry (Ceph): A side-profile X-ray of the head and neck. It is used primarily in orthodontics to measure the relationship between teeth, the jaw, and the skull to plan for braces.
- 4. CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography): A 3D imaging technology used for more complex dental procedures, such as precise implant planning, oral surgery, or assessing nerve canals. It provides high-resolution 3D images of bones, soft tissue, and nerve paths, allowing for precise, safe, and efficient treatment planning.
