Book an X-ray Mandible PA & Right Lateral Oblique View from an NABL & NABH Accredited Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy with high-end facilities for Radiology and Pathology services that provide advanced and state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. The digital X-rays we take are of a high quality Posteroanterior Images (PA) and Right Lateral Oblique (RLO) images of the mandible (lower jaw), which allow our doctors to diagnose jaw fractures, dislocations, infections, bone abnormalities, and other conditions of the lower jaw. Our highly trained radiologists optimize imaging to deliver the best possible radiation dosage, considering the quality of images captured while giving quick reports that aid in diagnosis and planning appropriate treatment.
About X-Ray Mandible PA & Right Lateral Oblique View
An X-ray mandible PA & Right Lateral Oblique View is a special X-ray examination that obtains detailed pictures of the lower jawbone at various angles. A PA view is a frontal view of the mandible, and a Right Lateral Oblique view is an angled view of the right side of the mandible that provides a better image of the right body and angle of the mandible, the condylar process, the coronoid process, the teeth-bearing area, and surrounding structures. The high resolution of our advanced digital radiography systems allows us to produce clear, quality images for accurate evaluation of injuries to the mandibles, dental conditions, and disorders of the face and mouth at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy.
What is an X-Ray Mandible PA & Right Lateral Oblique View?
An X-Ray Mandible PA & Right Lateral Oblique is an imaging test that quickly, safely, and painlessly assesses the lower jaw bones. These views can be useful for doctors to get an idea of the alignment of the jaws, look for fractures, any other abnormalities in bone structure, and any changes that may have occurred due to trauma, infection, or other conditions that may have affected the mandible. This exam is often advised for individuals who have jaw pain, facial injury, swelling, trouble chewing, or who think their jaw is abnormal.
Common Reasons for an X-Ray Mandible PA & Right Lateral Oblique View
Jaw injury due to fall, accident, or trauma
Suspected mandible fracture
Persistent jaw pain or discomfort
Swelling around the lower face or jaw
Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
Evaluation of jaw alignment
Dental and bone assessment
Follow-up after jaw surgery or fracture treatment
Conditions Evaluated
Mandibular Fractures
Detects fractures involving the mandibular body, angle, ramus, condyle, and other parts of the lower jaw.
Jaw Dislocation
Evaluates abnormal alignment or displacement of mandibular structures.
Bone Lesions
Helps identify cysts, tumors, infections, or other abnormalities affecting the mandible.
Dental-Related Bone Changes
Assesses abnormalities involving the tooth-bearing areas and supporting jaw bone.
Congenital Jaw Abnormalities
Evaluates developmental changes affecting the structure of the mandible.
Post-Traumatic and Post-Surgical Changes
Monitors healing following fractures, dental procedures, or maxillofacial surgeries.

Have persistent jaw pain
Have experienced facial or jaw trauma
Notice swelling around the mandible
Have difficulty chewing or moving the jaw

Test information: Fasting NOT needed
Reporting: Within 04 hours*
No fasting or special preparation is required for this X-ray examination.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Avoid clothing with metal buttons, zippers, necklaces, earrings, hairpins, dentures (if removable), or metallic accessories around the head, face, or neck.
You may be asked to remove spectacles, hearing aids, removable dental appliances, jewellery, or any metallic objects from the head and neck region before the examination.
Inform the radiographer if you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, as X-rays involve ionising radiation.
Bring your doctor's referral along with any previous X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, dental imaging, or maxillofacial imaging reports for comparison.
Continue taking your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Inform the radiographer if you have recently sustained facial trauma, undergone dental or jaw surgery, or have dental implants, fixation plates, screws, or other metallic hardware in the jaw region.
If you have severe jaw pain or difficulty opening your mouth, inform the staff before the examination so they can assist you with comfortable positioning.
Arrive at the diagnostic centre 15–20 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
इस जांच के लिए सामान्यतः फास्टिंग या किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
ढीले और आरामदायक कपड़े पहनकर आएं। सिर, चेहरे और गर्दन के आसपास धातु वाले बटन, ज़िप, चेन, झुमके, हेयरपिन, हटाए जा सकने वाले नकली दांत (डेंचर) या अन्य धातु की वस्तुएँ न पहनें।
जांच से पहले चश्मा, श्रवण यंत्र (हियरिंग एड), हटाए जा सकने वाले डेंचर, आभूषण तथा सिर और गर्दन के आसपास मौजूद अन्य धातु की वस्तुएँ हटाने के लिए कहा जा सकता है।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले रेडियोग्राफर को इसकी जानकारी अवश्य दें।
अपने डॉक्टर का रेफरल तथा जबड़े, दांतों या चेहरे से संबंधित सभी पुरानी एक्स-रे, सीटी, एमआरआई या अन्य जांच रिपोर्टें साथ लेकर आएं।
डॉक्टर की सलाह के अनुसार अपनी नियमित दवाइयाँ लेते रहें।
यदि हाल ही में चेहरे या जबड़े में चोट लगी हो, दांत या जबड़े की सर्जरी हुई हो, या प्लेट, स्क्रू, डेंटल इम्प्लांट अथवा अन्य धातु का इम्प्लांट लगा हो, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोग्राफर को दें।
यदि मुंह खोलने में कठिनाई हो या जबड़े में अधिक दर्द हो, तो जांच से पहले स्टाफ को अवश्य बताएं।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 15–20 मिनट पहले केंद्र पर पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned standing or seated according to the radiographer's instructions.
A Posteroanterior (PA) View and Right Lateral Oblique View of the mandible (lower jaw) are obtained to evaluate the mandibular body, angle, ramus, condyle, coronoid process, tooth-bearing region, temporomandibular region, and surrounding bony structures.
The combined projections provide comprehensive visualisation of the lower jaw and help assess mandibular fractures, jaw dislocations, bone lesions, infections, dental-related bone abnormalities, congenital jaw abnormalities, and post-traumatic or post-surgical changes.
The head will be carefully positioned to obtain accurate images while minimising overlap of surrounding structures.
You will be asked to remain completely still while each X-ray image is taken to ensure sharp, high-quality images.
Additional X-ray views may be obtained if required for a more comprehensive assessment.
The examination is quick, painless, non-invasive, and does not require contrast material.
The procedure usually takes 10–15 minutes.
Reports are generally available within 04 hours*.
