A panorex is a very impressive piece of imaging machinery in that it is capable of identifying many issues and structures that a normal x-ray is not. Initially you will sit in a chair with your chin on a small ledge. Once positioned in the machine, it will rotate around your entire head taking a full 360 degree view of the teeth, head, sinuses and bones.
The Panorex, alternatively referred to as a panoramic radiograph or panoramic X-ray, is a specialist dental imaging modality that offers a wide and inclusive visualization of the complete oral cavity, including the jaws and adjacent anatomical features. The utilization of this instrument is well regarded among dental practitioners and specialists in the field of oral healthcare, as it enables the collection of crucial diagnostic data for a multitude of objectives. The Panorex imaging technique has several advantages:
A Panorex radiograph is capable of capturing a panoramic image encompassing the entirety of the upper and lower jaws, all dental structures, the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), as well as the adjacent bones and soft tissues. This enables dental professionals to assess the comprehensive dental and oral well-being of a patient through a singular visual representation.
In contrast to conventional intraoral X-rays that necessitate many exposures to capture various regions of the oral cavity, a Panorex X-ray technique just requires a single exposure. This practice offers a time-saving benefit for both the patient and the dental practitioner.
The utilization of Panorex X-rays facilitates the identification of a diverse array of dental disorders, encompassing:
The topic of discussion pertains to dental caries and dental cavities.
Teeth that are impacted, such as wisdom teeth.
The topic of interest pertains to dental infections.
The presence of skeletal irregularities.
Tumors and cysts are pathological conditions characterized by the abnormal growth of cells or the formation of fluid-filled sacs, respectively.
The topic of concern pertains to dental development challenges encountered by individuals in the pediatric and teenage age groups.
Panorex X-rays are utilized by orthodontists to evaluate the alignment and location of teeth and jaws. This facilitates the strategic development of orthodontic treatment plans, including the utilization of braces or Invisalign.
Panorex X-rays are employed by oral surgeons for the purpose of strategizing various surgeries, including tooth extractions, dental implant installation, and corrective jaw surgery. The image offers significant data pertaining to bone density, the positioning of nerves, and various other crucial anatomical components.
The TMJs play a crucial role in facilitating jaw movement. The utilization of a Panorex imaging technique is essential in evaluating the state of the temporomandibular joints, a critical aspect in the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems and associated symptoms such as jaw pain and clicking.
Periodic utilization of Panorex X-rays enables the observation and assessment of oral health fluctuations within a certain timeframe. This is especially beneficial for individuals who have persistent dental issues or are currently undergoing orthodontic procedures.
The utilization of a Panorex image facilitates the visual depiction of dental diseases and treatment alternatives, hence enhancing dentists’ ability to effectively communicate with patients.
Although Panorex X-rays offer some advantages, it is crucial to acknowledge that they include a higher level of radiation exposure in comparison to certain alternative dental X-ray methods. Nevertheless, technological developments have resulted in reduced levels of radiation exposure in contemporary Panorex machines. The dental practitioner will consistently assess the suitable imaging techniques in accordance with the individual’s personal requirements and medical background in order to guarantee their well-being and precise diagnosis.

“Dr. Romano’s office is extremely welcoming with a friendly staff. Dr. Romano himself is a very nice man who answered all the questions I had regarding my dental treatment. One particular time I needed to see Dr. Romano right away and was accomodated on that same day. I was so grateful for that. I’ve been seeing Dr. Romano for years and my children find Dr. Romano very patient and friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone.”
Our family of five has been patients of Dr. Romano for over 13 years. Not only has he provided excellent work for crowns, fillings and cleanings, he always gives pertinent detailed advice on maintenance and referrals, if necessary.We are very fortunate to have such a competent sincere dentist in our area.
I’ve been to 4 Dentists, and Dr. Romano is by far the best. Goes over everything with me, explains things to me diligently and doesn’t get agitated when I don’t understand, which until today I thought was a dentists primary personality trait. He’s very straightforward, in a caring and helpful way, which I do appreciate immensely
According to the American Dental Association, it is recommended to visit the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning. This allows your dentist to effectively assess your oral health and identify any potential problems early on. In some cases, people who are at an increased risk for certain oral health problems may benefit from more frequent appointments.
Introducing good oral hygiene habits at a young age, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash are key to fighting cavities and tooth decay. Starting good oral hygiene habits early and sticking to them is the first step to preventing cavities in kids and adults.
Studies show children can develop their first cavities by two years old, so the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends booking the first visit once their first tooth erupts – or, at the latest, their first birthday. This helps Dr. Iglio catch potential problems that can affect your child’s overall health and well-being as more teeth erupt over time.
Dental x-rays are taken to help examine and record your mouth’s hidden areas for issues that need comparing against changes that occur between appointments. Most adult patients have bitewing X-rays every year and a full mouth series every four to five years. But those with a higher risk for dental caries problems may need them every six to 18 months.
A beautiful smile showing clean, white teeth gives a tremendous boost to your confidence. Most people experience some discoloration of teeth over the years, either from surface or extrinsic stains or internal ones. Treat stains caused by coffee, wine, tobacco and pigmented foods with at-home whitening – or schedule regular teeth whitening appointments with Stroudsburg Family Dental. For intrinsic discoloration, consider composite bonding or the application of veneers to the affected teeth, which provides a more permanent solution.
