A panoramic radio-graph 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. Panoramic radiography is a form of focal plane tomography; thus, images of multiple planes are taken to make up the composite panoramic image, where the maxilla and mandible are in the focal trough and the structures that are superficial and deep to the trough are blurred.

Lateral cephalometric radiograph is a radiograph of the head taken with the x-ray beam perpendicular to the patient’s sagittal plane. Natural head position is a standardized orientation of the head that is reproducible for each individual and is used as a means of standardization during analysis of dentofacial morphology both for photos and radiographs.

A Cephalometric tracing is an overlay drawing produced from a cephalometric radio-graph by digital means and a computer program. Tracings are used to facilitate cephalometric analysis, as well as in superimposition, to evaluate treatment and growth changes.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), is a special type of X-ray technology that generates 3D images. In the recent years, CBCT has been developed specifically for its use in the dental and maxillofacial areas to overcome the limitations of 2D imaging such as buccolingual superimposition.

Surgical guides are the latest advancement in dental implant technology. A surgical guide is created by taking impressions or an intraoral scan of the desired surgical implant site as well as a computer-guided 3D implant planning system.
