Digital Panoramic & Cephalometric X-Ray

Digital Panoramic and Cephalometric X-ray; Hekimoglu Imaging Center uses the vatech brand digital panoramic and cephalometric device, which can take panoramic and cephalometric images in high image quality within seconds with a much lower radiation dose using the latest advanced system technology.

What is a panoramic X-ray ?

A panoramic X-ray is a type of tomographic X-ray in which all the teeth and jawbone are displayed together by receiving fewer rays. Panoramic X-ray films are X-ray films that help to make treatment planning faster and more complete.

Panoramic X-rays are needed to diagnose formations such as cysts, caries and tumors that are invisible to the eye on the jaw and teeth.It is an X-ray that the doctor should see before surgical interventions related to the jaw and teeth. Because these X-rays show the area to be treated in a wide format and increase the success of the operation.

Cephalometric X-ray

Cephalometric images are usually used in patients who need orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery. They are special graphs in which the sizes of the head and facial bones, their postures relative to each other are evaluated, which are taken equal in size to the actual size of the head.

The appearance of the head and face on the radiogram should be very close to the actual dimensions. For this, the beam source is removed from the patient. When these conditions are realized, an image that is very close to reality is obtained.

With the cephalometric X-ray device, head bones and soft tissues can be displayed on the same film in front, back and side positions.

Cephalometric X-rays can be taken during the preparation of the treatment plan before treatment, during and after treatment to evaluate the effects of treatment.

Cephalometric X-ray is a unique tool that allows the dentist to capture a complete radiographic image of the side of the face. In general, X-rays offer the dentist a way to see teeth, jawbone, and soft tissues beyond what can be seen with the naked eye. Cephalometric X-rays are non-oral, meaning that no plates or films are inserted into the mouth. Cephalometric and panoramic X-rays show nasal and sinus passages that have been missed by intraoral biting X-rays.

Cephalometric X-rays are usually taken with a panoramic X-ray device. The adapted machine will have a special cephalometric film holder mounted on a mechanical arm. An X-ray image receiver is exposed to ionizing radiation to provide the dentist with images of the entire oral structure. The advantage of both cephalometric and panoramic X-rays is that the body is exposed to less radiation.

Cephalometric X-rays are not as common as “full sets” or biting X-rays, but they perform several important functions:

Providing views of the side profile of the face, providing images of the jaw in relation to the cheekbone, gives information about malocclusions, allows measuring teeth, identifying fractures and other injuries to the teeth and jawbone, helping with orthodontic planning.

How is a cephalometric X-ray taken?

Cephalometric X-rays are completely painless. The Decoupling is placed between the mechanical rotating arm and the film holder, which is placed on another arm. The arm rotates around the head capturing images of the face, mouth and teeth. The clarity and sharpness of these images will depend on the position of the body. The images are usually magnified by up to 30% so that any signs of decay, disease or injury can be seen and treated.

After taking the cephalometric x-rays, the dentist will be able to see a complete side profile of the head. This can help with orthodontic planning and allow for an immediate assessment of how braces can affect the facial profile and teeth. Another common use for this type of X-ray is the determination of certain measurements before the creation and placement of dental implants.

If you have any questions or concerns about cephalometric x-rays, please ask your dentist.

What are the advantages of panoramic X-ray?

Panoramic X-rays provide the opportunity for early diagnosis of many dental caries, cystic and tumoral formations in the jaws.

The image of all the teeth can be seen on a single X-ray.

It provides the opportunity for early diagnosis and treatment by taking an image of all the teeth. In this way, both time and treatment costs are saved.

Using my digital site improves the image quality and significantly reduces the amount of radiation a person receives.

Panoramic X-ray shooting

Metal objects in the head and neck area, earrings, glasses, clasps, necklaces, needles, and moving prostheses in the mouth should definitely be removed before irradiation.

The patient’s head is fixed from the forehead and temples with the help of a cephalostat.

The chin tip is based on the chin support, to get the right image layer,

the notch of the biting stick is bitten with the upper and lower anterior teeth. In this way, the correct positioning of the patient in the antero-posterior direction is ensured. Thus, the lower and upper cutting teeth come to break-even and do not superimpose on each other.

Our images can be given in optional movie or CD format, if desired, they can be transferred to digital media and sent via e-mail.
