Intraoral scanners are devices used in dentistry which create digital scans of the teeth and soft tissue anatomy. [1] These devices replace the use of dental putty impressions by using a light source and image sensors to record the tissues inside the mouth accurately and create a virtual alternative to traditional impression plaster models [1]
A panoramic radiograph is a panoramic scanning dental X-ray of the upper and lower jaw.It shows a two-dimensional view of a half-circle from ear to ear.
