Panorex Radiography
Panoramic radiography, also called Panorex, is a two-dimensional (2-D) dental X-ray examination that captures the entire mouth in a single image, including the teeth, upper and lower jaws, surrounding structures and tissues.
The jaw is a curved structure similar to that of a horseshoe. However, the panoramic X-ray produces a flat image of the curved structure. It is typically set to provide details of the bones and teeth. Source: RadiologyInfo

What are some of the common uses?
A Panorex is a commonly performed examination by dentists and oral surgeons in everyday practice and is an important diagnostic tool. It covers a broader area than a conventional intraoral X-ray and, as a result, provides valuable information about the nasal area, maxillary sinuses, tooth positioning and gum and bone irregularities. This examination is also used to plan treatment for full and partial dentures, braces, extractions and implants.
How should I prepare for the procedure?
A Panorex requires no special preparation.
