Panoramic X-ray (OPG)
A 2D X-ray showing the full upper and lower jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures.
Panoramic radiography (OPG, orthopantomogram) gives a flattened 2D view of all teeth and jaws in one image. It's a screening tool, not a planning tool — CBCT replaces it for surgical planning.
What this means for you: bring a recent OPG to dental consultations. It's standard of care to have one current within 12 months.
