Study Notes
Digital Radiography
- Digital radiography uses an electronic sensor instead of x-ray film to produce images that can be examined on a computer screen in a short time.
Panoramic Radiographies (OPTG)
- A type of extraoral radiography that shows both jaws, bony part of TMJ, and all upper and lower teeth at the same time.
- Provides ease of use, especially in patients and children who have difficulties in opening their mouth.
- No film is placed in the mouth during the procedure.
- Preferred in today's dentistry as it fits the entire mouth into a single image, making it easier to detect many problems.
Bite-Wing Radiographies
- Used to evaluate the relationship between the crowns of the teeth and the height of the alveolar bone and the cemento-enamel junction.
Radiography Indications
- Caries detection and evaluation
- Imaging pathologies resulting from infection that may occur around the teeth and roots in patients complaining of pain
- Traumatic dental injuries
- Detecting eruption problems
- Developmental anomalies
- Unexplained color changes of teeth
- Before planning for orthodontic treatment
- In the presence of facial swelling
- For evaluation of prosthetic purposes
- For surgical evaluations
Types of Dental Radiographies
- Intraoral radiographs
- Occlusal radiography
- Periapical radiography
- Bite-wing radiography
- Extraoral radiographs
- Panoramic radiography / OPTG
- Cephalometric radiography
- Dental Volumetric Tomography
Periapical Radiography
- Used when detailed images of one or more teeth are desired
- Evaluates the crown and root part as a whole and visualizes the surrounding bone tissue
- Conditions of permanent teeth below the milk teeth can be evaluated
- Used to evaluate infections in the teeth, pathologies resulting from trauma and root canal treatment stages
Oral Diagnosis and Radiology
- Examines intraoral and head-neck area tissues and organs systematically
- Evaluates all changes in these structures clinically and radiographically
- Plans treatments to be performed and directs patients to the relevant departments
- Provides education at undergraduate and graduate levels.
Importance of Radiographic Examination
- An indispensable method used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and post-treatment control
- Helps detect decay, bone loss, and root canal problems that cannot be noticed during examination
- Aids in treatment planning in orthodontic treatment and implantology.
