Back to: Orthopan
Ortopan represents the basis of modern dental diagnostics. It is a panoramic image of all teeth, jaws and surrounding structures, which allows the doctor a complete insight into the condition of your teeth, roots and bones. Thanks to digital technology, today's digital orthopan provides an extremely clear and precise image with a minimal dose of radiation, which makes it safe for both children and adults.
Orthopan is an x-ray of the entire jaw — upper and lower — in one image. Unlike the classic intraoral image that shows a single tooth, orthoscopic dental image gives a complete image of all teeth, roots, sinuses and jaw joints.
Dentists use it when:
planning treatment, extraction or installation of teeth,
diagnostics of infections and cysts,
planning orthodontic therapy (prostheses, fixed prostheses),
estimates of root condition before and after endodontic treatment,
preparations for implants and surgical procedures.
Thanks to orthopan, it is possible to detect early changes that are not visible to the naked eye — such as hidden caries, root damage, impacted teeth or the initial stages of periodontopathy.
Modern digital orthopan devices use advanced sensors that significantly reduce the radiation dose compared to older analog devices. The recording takes only a few seconds, without pain and discomfort, and the result is available immediately - in digital format or printed on film.
With us, you can have a digital orthopan in Belgrade without an appointment, quickly and accurately, with expert interpretation of the findings by an experienced dentist.
Digital Orthopan offers numerous advantages:
Quick and painless diagnostics
Minimal radiation
Results available immediately
Possibility of digital storage and sending of findings
A clear picture for precise therapy planning
For cases where a more detailed analysis is required, 3D orthopan, also known as CBCT imaging (Cone Beam CT), is used. This method enables a three-dimensional representation of teeth, bones and surrounding tissues.
3D orthopan is indispensable in planning implants, oral surgery and orthodontic therapy, because it provides accurate spatial relationships between teeth and jaws. Thanks to the high resolution, the doctor can precisely determine the thickness and density of the bone, the position of nerves and sinuses, which avoids complications during the procedure.
It is recommended that orthoscopic dental imaging be done:
at the first visit to the dentist,
before any major intervention (tooth extraction, implant, prosthesis),
for pain of unknown origin,
in case of swelling, cysts or infections,
at orthodontic analysis (especially in children and adolescents).
The price of orthopan depends on the type of image - classic digital orthopan is more affordable, while 3D orthopan is slightly more expensive due to more advanced technology and more complex image processing.
Regardless of the type, the image is obtained immediately, and the findings can be sent electronically to your dentist or downloaded on a USB.
In most surgeries orthopan in Belgrade you can do without an appointment, which is ideal if you need an urgent image before the intervention.
Modern digital orthopans are completely safe, because they use minimum doses of radiation - even less than during daily exposure to the sun. There is no pain, contact or discomfort during the recording. The patient stands for a few seconds while the device rotates around the head, and the result is a high-quality recording that the doctor immediately analyzes.
