Dental Caries Treatment Widely Involves Extraoral Imaging in Recent Years

Extraoral Imaging Market

The extraoral imaging market is experiencing robust growth owing to advancements in imaging technologies like panoramic systems and digital sensors, which improve image quality and diagnostic accuracy. The market is further growing due to increasing cases of dental deformities, diseases that need to be acknowledged with proper imaging techniques to plan the treatment for the best outcome. These systems have been adopted by many dentists and surgeons due to low exposure to radiation and easy image acquisition methods. Also, increasing overall spending by the government on building robust healthcare infrastructure for dental treatment further bolsters the adoption of imaging technologies.

Extraoral imaging includes techniques where the X-ray film or detector is placed outside the mouth. Similarly, in panoramic radiography, a view captured by a detector where every detail of the ja and teeth can be extracted in a single image, aiding in diagnosis that impacts overall results after dental surgery. Moreover, cephalometric radiography offers a lateral image of a skull, which is a crucial factor for orthodontic treatment as it is helpful for the assessment of skeletal relationships and growth patterns. These imaging modalities lower radiation exposure and offer a comprehensive view of dental and craniofacial conditions, which further helps for accurate diagnosis and treatment results.
