No medication is injected during OPG(Orthopantomogram) scan. It is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses X-Rays to create an image of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structure. Patients are not required to take any medication before or during this test, and the procedure doesn’t involve any discomfort or pain.
However, if the patient is pregnant, it is important to inform the dental professional performing the OPG, as X-rays can potentially harm the developing fetus. In this case, the dental professional may suggest postponing the test until after the pregnancy or using alternative imaging tests that do not involve radiation, if possible.
