The first stage of oral examination begins with methods for visual and manual examination.
However any examinations limited with this method is definitely inadequate. At this point oral x-rays are very helpful. If an x-ray is required for a single tooth problem then according to case small films called periapical films (2 Type) are obtained.
However if oral examination indicates multiple problems diffused entirely in the mouth or if the whole mouth must be displayed in order to view the bone region, then panoramic films which shows the entire internal structure of the mouth shall be requested. MRI and CT are other diagnostic methods which we frequently use in patients with joint problems or implant application |
