X-ray OPG

What is an X-Ray Orthopantomogram (OPG) Test?

Orthopantomogram (OPG) X-rays are two-dimensional panoramic dental X-rays often used in dentistry. An OPG X-ray takes a picture of the teeth, jawbones, and structures around them on a single film. The X-ray helps doctors figure out what's wrong with your teeth and helps plan procedures like pre-implant evaluation and trauma.

Why is it done? 

It shows the number, position, and growth of all the teeth, even those that have broken or haven't yet come through the gums. This test helps dentists determine if someone has sinusitis, tooth decay, a tumor in the jaw, or oral cancer.
