Playing a key role in modern-day dental treatment, the OPG X-Ray test generates an image of human teeth with the help of which dentists check and assess the oral health of an individual.
OPG X-Ray is important as it helps diagnose a dental issue at an initial stage before it develops into a severe condition. Dental Radiographs is another name used for OPG X-Ray.
Also known as Dental Radiographs, OPG X-ray helps dentists in evaluating the oral health of an individual and diagnosing dental issues at an initial stage.
Types of Dental X-Rays:
Dental X-Rays are of two different types:
- Intraoral X-Rays
This is the most common type of dental x-ray that provides extensive info regarding cavities, tooth root health, and the status of developing teeth. It further consists of 3 types: bite-wing x-rays, periapical x-rays and occlusal x- rays.
- Extraoral X-Rays
This type of dental x-ray provides details about teeth, jaw & skull but is rarely used by dentists as it offers lesser info than intraoral x-rays.
