    Orthopantomography (: Orthopantograph or OPG)

    Uploaded by

    Arslan Aslam
    Orthopantomography (OPG) is a panoramic radiograph of the jaws and teeth that allows for a rapid, inexpensive evaluation of gross anatomy and related pathology. During an OPG, the patient remains stationary while the x-ray source and film rotate around the patient. OPGs are used for a variety of indications including dental health evaluations, trauma assessments, infection evaluations, tumor screening, temporomandibular joint assessments, facial bone disease evaluations, foreign body localization, salivary stone identification, and monitoring of pediatric dental development and orthodontic treatment.

    Orthopantomography

    (Orthopantograph or OPG)
    • It is a panoramic single image radiograph of the
    mandible, maxilla and teeth.
    • Inexpensive and rapid way to evaluate the gross
    anatomy of the jaws and related pathology.
    • During an OPG the patient remains in a
    stationary position (seated or standing) while
    both the x-ray source and film rotate in
    combination around the patient.

    Indications of OPG
    There are multiple indications for this type of radiograph including yet not
    limited to:
    • general dental health evaluation for caries or pulp origin disease
    • trauma assessment for tooth or jaw fractures 
    • infection evaluation of sinusitis, periodontitis or periapical abscesses 
    • tumour or radicular cyst evaluation  
    • temporomandibular joint assessment for disease, fractures or dislocations 
    • facial bone disease evaluation
    • foreign body localisation
    • salivary stone identification (sialolithiasis)
    • growth and development monitoring of paediatric teeth for
    location, shape, angle, supernumerary tooth presence and tooth germ
    absence to prevent or prepare for future aesthetic issues 
    • initial and progressive evaluation of orthodontic treatment (note an OPG
    alone is not usually sufficient for preoperative inspection or prosthesis
    measurement)
