TMJ & Panorex

🌟 Panorex for TMJ Diagnosis
Panorex is a powerful diagnostic tool that significantly enhances our understanding and treatment of TMJ disorders. This advanced imaging technique can identify issues that may not be visible with normal X-rays.
A Panorex helps us to:
🔹 Prevent
🔹 Diagnose early
🔹 Manage TMJ issues before they become painful
In this video, we showcase numerous examples of Panorex scans revealing various TMJ disorders and provide detailed explanations of each:
✅ Notching: Small indentations that can indicate early signs of TMJ problems.
✅ Remodelling: Changes in the shape and structure of the jawbone.
✅ Condylar changes: Alterations in the condyle, the rounded end of the jawbone, which can signal TMJ disorders.
✅ Stylohyoid ligament calcification: Hardening of the ligament that can cause pain and discomfort.
Panoramic X-rays (Panorex) are safe, emitting minimal radiation comparable to daily natural background levels, while providing detailed images for accurate dental diagnosis and treatment.
🦷Worried about Panorex radiation?!
Many patients avoid Panorex scans due to radiation concerns, but they are mistaken! Panorex scans are safe. With new technology, the radiation is minimal and harmless.
To put it into perspective:
Daily background radiation (just walking around): 10 units
Chest X-ray: 100 units
One serving of Brazil nuts: 5 units
Daily radiation from food: 1 unit
Sleeping next to someone: 10 units
A typical Panorex scan is only about 10 units of radiation, which is less than most daily activities! So, there's no need to worry.
