There is generally no preparation required for OPG Test or Orthopantomogram. However, here are some general guidelines that can help ensure that the procedure goes smoothly:
Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that does not have any metal fasteners, zippers, or buttons. This is because metal objects can interfere with the X-ray imaging process.
Jewelry and accessories: Remove any jewelry, eyeglasses, and accessories that may interfere with the X-ray imaging process. This includes earrings, necklaces, watches, and piercings.
Medications: If you are taking any medications, be sure to inform your dentist or oral surgeon before the test. They may advise you to temporarily stop taking certain medications that could interfere with the imaging process.
Food and drink: You can eat and drink as normal before the test. However, if you will be receiving sedation or general anaesthesia, your dentist or oral surgeon may advise you to avoid food and drink for a certain period before the procedure.
Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, inform your dentist or oral surgeon before the test. They may advise you to delay the test until after the pregnancy or to use extra precautions to minimize the radiation exposure to the fetus.
Medical history: Be sure to inform your dentist or oral surgeon of any relevant medical history, including allergies, previous surgeries, and any medical conditions that could affect the procedure.
