A Brief Study about Principles of Panoramic Radiography (Orthopantography) | Chapter 8 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 15

The proximal surfaces of the maxillary posterior teeth overlap, and the temporomandibular joints are rarely depicted in their entirety. The apical areas of the roots and the nasopalatine space, on the other hand, can be detected clearly with this method. Distinct aspects affecting the quality and anatomy on x-rays, as well as different film artefacts, are discussed to help technicians perform proper radiography. Conclusion: Proper understanding of radiography and patient positioning, as well as the application of appropriate technical factors and the elimination of artefacts, will result in high-quality OPG films that are simple to interpret.
