Panoramic imaging — purpose?
To obtain a comprehensive maxillofacial view.
Panoramic equipment — components?
Tubehead, extension arm, control panel, receptor holder.
Patient preparation — key step?
Remove jewelry, glasses; use lead apron.
Patient positioning — goal?
Align head within focal trough accurately.
Focal Trough — function?
Ensures structures are sharply imaged within this zone.
Head positioning — important landmark?
Align Frankfort plane parallel to floor.
Extraoral film types — used in?
Panoramic radiography, digital sensors.
CBCT principles — mechanism?
Rotates cone beam to create 3D images.
CBCT uses — applications?
Implant planning, pathology, orthodontics, TMJ.
3D imaging — advantage?
Provides detailed, accurate spatial visualization.
Panoramic purpose — detection?
Caries, bone loss, growth, abnormalities.
Equipment — key feature?
Recessed long-beam tubehead reduces distortion.
Patient prep — safety focus?
Use shielding, explain ALARA, ensure stability.
Patient head — alignment?
Midsagittal plane perpendicular; Frankfort plane parallel.
Focal trough — shape?
Curved zone matching dental arch.
Head positioning — landmarks?
Orbitale, porion, canine line.
Extraoral film — characteristics?
Wide, designed for panoramic geometry.
CBCT — data acquisition?
Multiple 2D images reconstructed into 3D volume.
CBCT — main benefit?
Detailed 3D visualization of structures.
3D imaging — key advantage?
Reduces superimposition, improves diagnosis.
