A periapical radiograph, commonly referred to as a "periapical," is a fundamental diagnostic tool in dentistry. This type of dental X-ray provides a detailed image of a specific tooth and its surrounding structures. To capture a periapical radiograph, the dental professional places a small X-ray sensor or film near the target tooth, and the X-ray machine is used to generate a focused image. This procedure allows for a close examination of the tooth's root, the surrounding bone, and the adjacent tissues. Periapical radiographs are particularly useful in diagnosing dental issues such as infections, cysts, abscesses, and the extent of dental caries. Dentists rely on periapical X-rays to gain insights into the overall health and condition of a single tooth, aiding in treatment planning and ensuring optimal oral health for their patients.
