Essential Guidelines for Accurate Panoramic and Cephalometric Positioning in Dentistry

Proper positioning is crucial when capturing panoramic and cephalometric images in dental practices. Misalignment can lead to distorted images and misdiagnoses, resulting in patient discomfort and treatment delays. Common errors include tilting the patient's head back or forward, positioning the patient too far forward or back, and leaving dental appliances or glasses on during exposure. Understanding optimal positioning techniques will minimize image distortion and enhance the quality of dental assessments, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.
