RVG or Digital radiogrphy is a form of X-ray imaging. This method enables to take a precise and quick image using a small digital sensor. With this method only a small area of the patient´s body is irradiated and the image is displayed on the screen where it can be further examined by the dentist.
OPG (ortopantomogram) is a clearly arranged X-ray image which depicts both of the jaws. We use this type of image by the entrance examination and then in regular intervals to reval a tooth decay, periodontosis, a position of wisdom teeth and inflammation.
By patients with high caries, we take bitewing images after 1 year for a detailed view of the interdental prostheses and the detection of interdental caries. If the patient does not use an interdental brush, the risk of it is high.
