About X-Ray Maxilla AP & Lateral View

The X-Ray Maxilla AP & Lateral View is a specialized X-ray examination that looks at the upper jaw (maxilla), upper teeth, adjacent facial bones, and surrounding structures in two views. Considering both the AP (anteroposterior) and lateral views, a more detailed picture of the maxillary bone is provided, making fractures and other abnormalities more readily apparent. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, their sophisticated X-ray imaging machines deliver crisp images while using very little radiation, for accurate and reliable diagnosis.

What is an X-Ray Maxilla AP & Lateral View?

During this examination, a little bit of X-ray will provide X-rays of the front (AP) and side (lateral) of the maxilla. They complement the other forms of viewing to help doctors evaluate the upper jaw, bones, breaks, lesions, and other issues related to the mouth.
