Periapical radiography describes intraoral techniques
designed to show individual teeth and the
tissues around the apices. Each film usually shows
two to four teeth and provides detailed information
about the teeth and the surrounding alveolar bone.
Main indications
The main clinical indications for periapical
radiography include:
• Detection of apical infection/inflammation
• Assessment of the periodontal status
• After trauma to the teeth and associated
alveolar bone
• Assessment of the presence and position of
unerupted teeth
• Assessment of root morphology before
extractions
• During endodontics
• Preoperative assessment and postoperative
appraisal of apical surgery
• Detailed evaluation of apical cysts and other
lesions within the alveolar bone
• Evaluation of implants postoperatively.
