Come on, learn about the advantages of panoramic dental x-rays. 

Panoramic dental X-ray is a two-dimensional dental X-ray examination that provides an image of all parts of the mouth.This includes the teeth, maxilla, mandible, structure, and surrounding tissue.

Unlike other types of dental X-rays, which can only capture one part of a single image, this type of X-ray can capture all parts of the mouth in a single image. The medical term for this examination is an orthopantomogram.
