An OPG machine can detect impacted wisdom teeth, source of pain, dentoalveolar fractures, joint dysfunctions, irregular teeth, tumors, and infection. It helps in pre and post operative stages. 

The OPG machine, or dental panoramic radiography, comprises a rotating arm and an X-ray sheet moving along with it. The patient’s head is positioned between the arm assembly and x-ray generator, which sends radiations that passes through the teeth and jaw from different angles to create a stable image (x-ray).
