Dental Pantomogram (Dpt)

A dental pantomogram (Dpt) is a type of tomogram (see Tomography), which allows you to obtain an image of all the teeth of both the upper and lower jaw on one film.

A pantomogram allows you to assess the condition of the bone tissue of the jaws, teeth and periodontal tissues. With its help, you can identify problems such as caries, inflammatory processes, cysts and other pathologies.

The advantages of a pantomogram are:

1. Possibility to obtain an overview image of the entire dentition.
2. Low radiation exposure compared to other methods of radiation diagnostics.
3. Speed ​​and simplicity of the procedure.

Pantomograms are widely used in dental practice for diagnosis and treatment planning. This is a mandatory examination before prosthetics and dental implantation.

A dental pantomogram is a type of tomogram that allows you to obtain on one film an image of all the teeth of the patient’s upper and lower jaw simultaneously.

A pantomogram is used to diagnose diseases of the teeth and jaws, as well as to plan surgical interventions and prosthetics. It allows you to obtain more accurate information about the condition of the teeth and surrounding tissues than conventional x-rays.

When performing a pantomogram, the patient lies on his back with his mouth open. A special material is then applied to the teeth and gums to make them visible on x-rays. After this, the patient turns over on his stomach and receives a second image, which allows him to see the teeth and tissues located under them.

Thus, the pantomogram is an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the teeth and maxillofacial area. It allows you to obtain more accurate and detailed images, which makes it an indispensable tool in the work of the dentist.

Pantomography is a method of x-ray examination that simultaneously obtains an image of the entire row of the upper or lower jaw in a lateral projection. Due to this, the research time is reduced; the image is obtained in one revolution of the tape. Pantomographic plates can also be used for control images of the upper part of the dental system.
