Panoramic X-ray or an orthopantomogram is a two-dimensional full mouth X-ray that captures all the tooth and related structures of the upper and lower jaw in a single film or image. These are used in dentistry to diagnose or detect multiple carious lesions, bone lesions like tumors and cysts, temporomandibular joint disorders, impacted teeth, fractures, plan orthodontic treatments, etc. This dental radiography does not need the patient to open their mouth; hence these are beneficial in trismus patients.
