Types Of Dental X-Rays

Dental x-rays are an understandable concept, it’s the various types of dental x-rays that start to blur the lines.

Dental x-rays are an understandable concept, it’s the various types of dental x-rays that start to blur the lines. Here is a breakdown of the different types of dental x-rays and their general objectives for all dental practices.
Dental X-Rays Explained
Dental x-rays are a kind of radiation that may either be absorbed by or pass through solid objects. When this energy strikes thick objects like teeth and bones, it is absorbed and shows up on x-rays as light-colored patches. Dental x-rays pass through less dense materials like cheeks and gums and show up as black spots on x-ray film.

X-rays provide dental specialists with all of the information they require. Dental x-rays are used to assess the health of teeth, roots, jaw positioning, and face bone structure. They also aid in the early detection and treatment of tooth issues.

Types Of Dental X-Rays
Periapical X-Rays
This type of dental x-ray is intraoral and shows the whole tooth, from the crown to the area beyond the root where the tooth is linked to the jaw. Each periapical x-ray shows every single tooth in one section of the upper or lower jaw. Periapical x-rays examine for any unusual changes in the bone structures around the root.
Occlusal X-Ray
This is another intraoral x-ray that tracks the development and placement of a whole arch of teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
Dental Imaging
This is a type of 2D extraoral x–ray that allows images to be sent straight to a computer. Photographs may be instantly saved, printed, or viewed on a computer screen. When compared to traditional x-rays, digital imaging offers several advantages.

This allows your dentist to notice even the slightest alterations that might otherwise go undetected during an oral examination. Additionally, images can be electronically shared with a new dentist, a specialist, or another dentist for a second opinion if necessary.

That concludes our breakdown of the types of dental x-rays, both intraoral and extraoral. We hope you have found this run-through both informative and enjoyable.
