CEPHALOGRAM PA VIEW

The Cephalogram PA (Posteroanterior) view is a specialized X-ray technique employed in dentistry and orthodontics to capture a comprehensive frontal image of the skull and facial structures. This imaging method involves positioning the X-ray source behind the patient’s head while placing the X-ray film or sensor in front, allowing for the passage of X-rays through the head from the back to the front. This diagnostic tool offers a detailed view of the teeth, jaws, and facial bones, aiding orthodontists and dentists in precisely evaluating dental and skeletal relationships, facilitating treatment planning, and assessing developmental patterns for optimal diagnostic insight.
