There are several types of intraoral x-rays. Each shows\ndifferent aspects of teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Bite-wing x-rays<\/strong>\u00a0show details of the upper and lower teeth in one area of the mouth. Each bite-wing shows a tooth from its crown (the exposed surface) to the level of the supporting bone. Bite-wing x-rays detect decay between teeth and changes in the thickness of bone caused by\u00a0gum disease. Bite-wing x-rays can also help determine the proper fit of a\u00a0crown(a cap that      completely encircles a tooth) or other restorations (eg,\u00a0bridges). It      can also see any wear or breakdown of dental fillings.<\/li><li><strong>Periapical      x-rays<\/strong>\u00a0show      the whole tooth \u2014 from the crown, to beyond the root where the tooth      attaches into the jaw. Each periapical x-ray shows all teeth in one      portion of either the upper or lower jaw. Periapical x-rays detect any      unusual changes in the root and surrounding bone structures.<\/li><li><strong>Occlusal      x-rays<\/strong>\u00a0track      the development and placement of an entire arch of teeth in either the      upper or lower jaw.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extraoral x-rays<\/strong>&nbsp;are used to\ndetect dental problems in the jaw and skull. There are several types of\nextraoral x-rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Panoramic\n     x-rays<\/strong>&nbsp;show\n     the entire mouth area \u2014 all the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws \u2014\n     on a single x-ray. This x-ray detects the position of fully emerged as\n     well as emerging teeth, can see impacted teeth, and help diagnosis tumors.<\/li><li><strong>Tomograms<\/strong>&nbsp;show\n     a particular layer or \u201cslice\u201d of the mouth and blur out other layers. This\n     x-ray examines structures that are difficult to clearly see because other\n     nearby structures are blocking the view.<\/li><li><strong>Cephalometric\n     projections<\/strong>&nbsp;show\n     an entire side of the head. This x-ray looks at the teeth in relation to\n     the jaw and profile of the individual. Orthodontists use this x-ray to\n     develop each patient\u2019s specific teeth realignment approach.<\/li><li>Another\n     test that uses x-rays is called a&nbsp;<strong>sialogram<\/strong>. This test uses a\n     dye, which is injected into the salivary glands so they can be seen on\n     x-ray film (Salivary glands are a soft tissue that would not be seen with\n     an x-ray.) Dentists might order this test to look for salivary gland\n     problems, such as blockages, or Sjogren\u2019s syndrome (a disorder with symptoms\n     including&nbsp;dry mouth&nbsp;and&nbsp;eyes; this disorder can play a role\n     in tooth decay).<\/li><li><strong>Dental\n     computed tomography (CT)<\/strong>&nbsp;is a type of imaging\n     that looks at interior structures in 3-D (three dimensions). This type of\n     imaging is used to find problems in the bones of the face such as cysts,\n     tumors, and fractures.<\/li><li><strong>Cone\n     Beam CT<\/strong>&nbsp;is\n     a type of x-ray that creates 3-D images of dental structures, soft tissue,\n     nerves, and bone. It helps guide tooth implant placement and evaluates\n     cysts and tumors in the mouth and face. It also can detect problems in the\n     gums, roots of teeth, and jaws. Cone beam CT is similar to regular dental\n     CT in some ways. They both produce accurate and high quality images.\n     However, the way images are taken is different. The cone-beam CT machine\n     rotates around the patient\u2019s head, capturing all data in one single\n     rotation. The traditional CT scan collects \u201cflat slices\u201d as the machine\n     makes several revolutions around the patient\u2019s head. This method also\n     exposes patients to higher level of radiation. A unique advantage of cone\n     beam CT is that it can be used in a dentist\u2019s office. Dental computed CT\n     equipment is only available in hospitals or imaging centers.<\/li><li><strong>Digital\n     imaging<\/strong>&nbsp;is\n     a 2-D type of dental imaging that allows images to be sent directly to a\n     computer. The images can be viewed on screen, stored, or printed out in a\n     matter of seconds. Digital imaging has several other advantages compared\n     with traditional x-rays. The image taken of a tooth, for example, can be\n     enhanced and enlarged. This makes it easier for your dentist to see the\n     tiniest changes that can\u2019t be seen in an oral exam. Also, if necessary,\n     images can be sent electronically to another dentist or specialist for a\n     second opinion or to a new dentist (eg, if you move). Digital imaging also\n     uses less radiation than x-rays.<\/li><li><strong>MRI\n     imaging<\/strong>&nbsp;is\n     an imaging method that takes a 3-D view of the oral cavity including jaw\n     and teeth. (This is ideal for soft tissue evaluation.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/dental-xray-opg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Dental X-ray center near me (opens in a new tab)\">Dental X-ray center near me<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>dental x ray types,types of dental x ray,different types of dental x ray machines,types of dental x ray machines,dental x ray machine types,list two types of dental x ray machines,types of dental x ray films,types of x ray in dental,types of dental x ray sensors,types of dental x-ray scanner There are two main types of\u00a0dental &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/2019\/08\/16\/types-of-dental-x-rays\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Types of Dental X-rays&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":234,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[9,8,30,58,56,10,59,61,42,22,25,16,24,57,64,60,62,63,31],"class_list":["post-229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dental-health","tag-best-dentist-near-me","tag-best-orthodontist-near-me","tag-dental-clinic-in-pune","tag-dental-x-ray-machine-types","tag-dental-x-ray-types","tag-dentist-in-pune","tag-different-types-of-dental-x-ray-machines","tag-list-two-types-of-dental-x-ray-machines","tag-root-canal-treatment-in-pune","tag-teeth-braces-cost-in-pune","tag-teeth-cleaning-cost-in-pune","tag-teeth-crown","tag-teeth-whitening-cost-in-pune","tag-types-of-dental-x-ray","tag-types-of-dental-x-ray-films","tag-types-of-dental-x-ray-machines","tag-types-of-dental-x-ray-sensors","tag-types-of-x-ray-in-dental","tag-wisdom-tooth-removal-cost-in-pune"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":367,"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229\/revisions\/367"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestorthodontistbracespune.in\/DeccanDentalBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
