What is OPG & CBCT?
OPG (Orthopantomogram) and CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) are advanced dental imaging technologies used to examine teeth, jaws, facial bones, and surrounding oral structures in detail.
These scans help dentists and oral specialists diagnose dental problems accurately and plan effective treatments for various dental and maxillofacial conditions.
What is an OPG Scan?
An OPG scan is a panoramic dental X-ray that captures a complete view of the upper and lower jaws, teeth, jaw joints, and surrounding structures in a single image.
OPG scans are commonly used for:
- Detecting dental infections and cavities
- Wisdom tooth evaluation
- Orthodontic treatment planning
- Jawbone assessment
- Monitoring tooth development
What is a CBCT Scan?
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a specialized 3D imaging scan that provides highly detailed images of teeth, bone structures, nerves, and soft tissues in the oral and facial region.
CBCT scans are commonly used for:
- Dental implant planning
- Root canal evaluation
- Orthodontic assessment
- Jaw and facial bone analysis
- Detecting complex dental conditions
How Do OPG & CBCT Scans Work?
During the procedure, the patient stands or sits still while the imaging machine rotates around the head to capture detailed images. The process is quick, painless, and non-invasive.
Are OPG & CBCT Scans Safe?
Yes, both OPG and CBCT scans are generally safe when performed under professional supervision. They use controlled and low levels of radiation for accurate diagnostic imaging.
How Long Do the Scans Take?
Most OPG and CBCT scans are completed within 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the type of scan and examination required.
