Digital OPG

An Orthopantogram (OPG), also known as a panoramic radiograph, provides a comprehensive view of both the mandible and the teeth.
Reasons for OPG requests

Dental Disease

  • Caries – appear as different shaped areas of radiolucency in the crowns or necks of teeth.
  • Peridontioiditis – when inflammation extends into the underlying alveolar bone and there is a loss of attachment.

Extraction of teeth (eg. wisdom teeth)

  • OPG shows angulation, shape of roots, size and shape of crown, effect on other teeth.
