Low Radiation Panoramic X-rays--Advantages
by
Dr. Thomas Gibbs
Although a panoramic image does not eliminate the need for the smaller, detailed images of specific teeth obtained from the smaller digital x-rays pictures, it does provide a more comprehensive view to enhance the diagnostic evaluation of not just the teeth, but surrounding bone, sinuses, tempro-mandibular joint, and bone pathology. In fact, panora ...

by
Dr. Thomas Gibbs
A patient recently asked me why I, who is usually considered to be “on the forefront” of dentistry and technology, waited so long to purchase a digital panoramic x-ray machine. The older machines commonly used by oral surgeons and orthodontists (Dr. Gibbs’ orthodontist father had a early film version 25 years ago!) were of limited ability relative ...
