ORTHOPAN

Dental X-ray – ORTHOPAN IMAGE

What is an Ortopan?
An ortopan is an X-ray image that has been completely irreplaceable in dentistry for decades. It shows the hard dental tissues and bones, as well as existing cavities (sinuses, nasal cavity). On it, the dentist can see tooth decay, bone processes, and changes in the sinuses.

3D DENTAL IMAGING

What is the difference between a regular and a 3D Ortopan image?
3D is a more modern and advanced version that allows the dentist to see all dimensions much more clearly. It has become the gold standard before implant placement because it enables visualization of bone width, height, and density, as well as the relationship to surrounding anatomical structures such as the mandibular canal, sinus floor, etc. These are all essential data for successful implant placement.

Cephalogram – TELERADIOGRAPH

Lateral cephalogram
A teleradiograph, or profile X-ray, is most often used when establishing an orthodontic diagnosis and creating a treatment plan, but also as a control image during and after orthodontic treatment. It shows the bony profile of the head and the contours of the soft tissues of the facial profile. On this image, orthodontists perform cephalometric measurements (cephalometry) and, based on them, various analyses (cephalometric analyses).
