During a dental examination, in order to accurately diagnose the condition and cause of the disease, doctors may order a panoramic dental X-ray, especially in cases where the patient is undergoing treatment for cavities, braces, implants, porcelain teeth, cosmetic dentistry, etc.

Periapical dental X-ray, also known as retro-alveolar radiography, is an X-ray technique that is often prescribed in the examination of dental and maxillofacial diseases. The technique allows detailed and clear examination of the morphology and structure of a tooth and its surrounding structures based on the general principles of conventional X-rays.
