Pantomogram Warsaw
A pantomogram is one of the most important diagnostic tools in modern dentistry, allowing for a quick and comprehensive imaging of the entire oral cavity. At Nowak | Wołcz Dental Clinic in Ursynów, we perform digital pantomograms that enable precise assessment of the teeth, bones, and temporomandibular joints. Thanks to this, our specialists can make an accurate diagnosis, plan effective treatment, and monitor the progress of therapy in a safe and comfortable way for the patient.
What is a pantomogram and when is it performed?
A pantomogram, also known as a panoramic image, is a digital radiological examination that covers all teeth, jaws, mandible, temporomandibular joints, and maxillary sinuses in one image. It is an essential examination before orthodontic, implantological, and surgical treatment, as well as in the diagnosis of injuries, inflammatory changes, or tumors. A pantomogram allows for the detection of problems invisible to the naked eye, such as impacted teeth, cysts, periapical lesions, or abnormalities in dental development.
Who should have a pantomogram?
A pantomogram is recommended for patients preparing for orthodontic, prosthetic, implantological, and surgical treatment. This examination is also performed in cases of pain of unclear cause, jaw injuries, suspected pathological changes, or monitoring of tooth development in children and adolescents. It is also a standard procedure before wisdom tooth extraction and in the diagnosis of periodontal diseases.
How are pantomographic examinations performed?
01
Preparation
The examination is quick, painless, and requires no special preparation. The patient is asked to remove jewelry and metal elements from the head area and then stands in the machine according to the technician’s instructions.
02
Performing the scan
The head is stabilized, and the device rotates around the face, recording an image of the entire oral cavity. The entire process takes only a few dozen seconds, and the result in the form of a digital image is available almost immediately. The radiation dose is minimal and safe for health.
What are the advantages of a pantomogram?
Choosing a pantomogram as a diagnostic examination brings many benefits appreciated by both patients and doctors. Thanks to modern technology, the examination is quick, precise, and comfortable, and the obtained images allow for a comprehensive assessment of the oral cavity condition without the need for many single X-rays.
