Overview

Oral health is closely connected to overall wellness. At Mahanandan Super Speciality Hospital, our advanced Orthopantomogram (OPG) services provide detailed imaging of the entire jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures in a single scan. With precise, low-radiation imaging and expert analysis, we support dentists, orthodontists, and surgeons in diagnosing and planning the best treatment for a variety of dental and jaw-related conditions.

What is an OPG?

An Orthopantomogram (OPG) is a panoramic dental X-ray that captures the entire mouth — including the upper and lower jaws, teeth, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and sinus areas — in a single image. It provides a comprehensive view, making it an essential diagnostic tool for many dental and maxillofacial treatments.

• Assessment of teeth positioning and alignment
• Detection of impacted teeth, infections, and jaw fractures
• Planning for orthodontic treatment and oral surgeries

OPG imaging is fast, painless, and very useful in evaluating both dental and bone structures for early problem detection and treatment planning.

Common Uses of OPG

OPGs are widely recommended for both routine dental assessments and specialized treatment planning. They are critical in diagnosing hidden problems that may not be visible during a clinical examination.

• Wisdom tooth evaluation and extraction planning
• TMJ disorder diagnosis and jaw joint analysis
• Detection of cysts, tumors, and bone diseases

Our OPG reports provide dentists and surgeons with all the detailed information they need to design precise and effective treatment strategies for patients.

Preparing for an OPG Scan

No special preparation is usually required for an OPG. However, we ensure that patients are properly guided to achieve the best-quality images with minimum exposure to radiation.

• Remove any metallic objects like jewelry, glasses, or dentures
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal accessories
• Follow the technician’s instructions for correct positioning during the scan

The procedure typically takes just a few minutes, and results are processed quickly to support timely diagnosis and treatment decisions.
