Dental x-rays provide important anatomical information to determine pathologies and conditions of the teeth and surrounding tissues, help identify issues like periodontal disease, abscesses, cysts and tumors, and allow detection of problems like impacted teeth or cavities that cannot be seen directly. Various x-ray techniques like panoramic, bite wing, and periapical x-rays are used to image different areas of the mouth and teeth.

Also determines exact locations of impacted
teeth, position of third molars and the
status of develop

5. To localize cavities that can not be seen directly or in early
stage, allowing patients to receive preventive treatment.

6. Types
X ray. Retro alveolar occlusal.

7. X ray serial
It shows all the teeth, crowns, root and sircundant
bone.

8. Bite Wings

11. Occlusal
Displays the occlusal surface of the teeth with their
relationship to the alveolar bone

12. Radiografía Panorámica
Displays all the oral structures and is made with
a specific device called ortopantomógrafo.
This technique allows the simultaneous and
comparative study of the joints, ascending
branches and all the dentoalveolar arches.

13. Tele x ray
Skull X-ray taken in side or
front position.
Shows clearly both the soft
profile (face) and bony
structures.
Used for
cephalometric orthodonticpurpos
es,

14. Hand x ray
This test is taken from the left
hand is used to assess the
degree of bone maturation, to
schedule orthodontic therapy.
