A Panorex image in a panoramic x-ray that is taken by having the patient sit in a chair, while a small x-ray device moves 360 degrees around the patient’s head. This image is exceptionally useful in diagnosing a wide range of issues.
A Panorex image shows all of the teeth, upper and lower jaws, wisdom teeth, and the temporomandibular joints on one large x-ray. This image can help the dentist understand the relationship between your teeth, jaws, and bite. It is an essential X-ray for the evaluation of wisdom teeth, extractions, and implant placement, and can be used to detect infections or structural problems. It also provides the dentist with important information about the presence or absence of permanent teeth in a child.
