Understand the examination
An overview with a clear purpose.
An orthopantomogram, commonly called an OPG, is a panoramic dental X-ray. It brings both jaws into one image and can help your dentist assess tooth position and broader dental relationships.
Clinical applications
Selected to answer a specific question.
Your referring clinician determines whether this examination is appropriate.
Dental & jaw assessment
A panoramic perspective to complement the clinical examination.
Treatment planning
A prescribed part of an orthodontic or other dental work-up.
What the examination can tell us
Useful information. Clear limitations.
What it can add
A broad panoramic perspective on erupted and unerupted teeth, the dental arches and surrounding jaw structures. It complements the clinical examination and other records.
Where interpretation needs care
Projection, distortion and overlapping anatomy limit fine detail and measurement. Targeted intraoral images or a clinically justified CBCT may be needed for a different question.
OPG
Both jaws presented as one panoramic 2D image.
Lateral cephalogram
A different 2D projection for relationships in profile.
CBCT
Cross-sectional 3D data when the clinical question requires it.
For the referring clinician
Give the examination its clinical context.
Include the question you need answered, rather than the modality alone. The acquisition and reporting requirements should be agreed for the individual examination.

About Digital OPG
Is an OPG a 3D scan?
No. An OPG is a two-dimensional panoramic radiograph. CBCT is a separate three-dimensional examination.
What should I bring?
Bring the prescription and any relevant earlier imaging. The team will guide preparation and positioning.
Is the X-ray taken inside my mouth?
The panoramic machine moves around your head. A positioning aid may be used to help you remain correctly aligned.
