About X-Ray Maxilla Lateral View
An X-Ray Maxilla Lateral View is a special type of X-ray exam that looks at the side of the upper jaw (maxilla) and the surrounding facial bones. It is often performed after a facial trauma or when there is a possibility of fractures, bone infection, cysts, tumors, or any other abnormalities in the upper jaw.
At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, using the latest digital X-ray technology helps to capture high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure, which helps to ensure an accurate and reliable diagnosis.
What is an X-Ray Maxilla Lateral View?
An X-Ray Maxilla Lateral View takes a very small amount of X-ray radiation to take a detailed lateral view of the maxillary bone. This view is useful in assessing upper jaw alignment, integrity, and condition and is used when necessary in conjunction with other facial imaging views.
Common Reasons for an X-Ray Maxilla Lateral View
- Facial injury or trauma
- Suspected maxillary fracture
- Pain or swelling in the upper jaw
- Evaluation of facial bone abnormalities
- Assessment of bone infections
- Investigation of cysts or tumors
- Follow-up after facial surgery or fracture treatment
- Congenital abnormalities of the facial bones
