Department Of OPG & CBCT

What is OPG & CBCT?

An Orthopantomogram (OPG) is a special X-ray used to obtain a complete, panoramic view of your jaws and teeth. The OPG unit is a spectacularly designed machine that rotates for approximately 20 seconds around the patient's head during the procedure.

The Cone-Beamed Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced technology that takes 3D images of the maxillofacial bones, nerves, maxillary sinus and teeth. It works similarly to the OPG, rotating around the patient to capture highly accurate 3D images. CBCT machines use cone-shaped x-ray beams to measure jawbone depth, density, and width to 0.1mm accuracy.
