Dental X-rays are a crucial diagnostic imaging tool employed by dental professionals to assess the condition of teeth, the jawbone, and adjacent structures. These X-rays employ electromagnetic radiation to generate images that reveal dental problems often imperceptible during a standard visual examination.

Various types of dental X-rays are employed, contingent upon the specific dental concern under scrutiny:

1. Bitewing X-rays: These X-rays focus on the crowns of upper and lower teeth and are primarily used for the detection of cavities.

2. Panoramic X-rays: Providing a comprehensive view of the entire oral cavity, including teeth, jawbone, and nearby structures, these X-rays are instrumental in identifying issues like impacted teeth, jawbone fractures, and tumors.

3. Periapical X-rays: These X-rays target individual teeth and the surrounding bone, aiding in the identification of problems like abscesses, cysts, and impacted teeth.

4. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): CBCT is an advanced 3D X-ray technology that offers intricate images of teeth, the jawbone, and adjacent structures. Typically reserved for complex dental procedures such as dental implant placement and orthodontic treatment planning, CBCT provides detailed and comprehensive information.
