Radiographic Interpretation

Here you can find a complete list of all the pages with radiographic description of entities seen on radiographs with examples.  Some entities will have more examples than others due to the frequency with which they are seen in a clinical setting.  This site is a work in progress and will continue to grow with more entities and radiographic examples as I acquire them.  Enjoy!

  1. Hi Dr. Gonzalez.

    D1 here. I was wondering if you could explain how we can tell what quadrant we are looking at? Whether or not its right or left?

    Thanks, ive learned alot looking at your radiographs on twitter.

    1. When looking at radiographs, the main thing to remember is it’s as if you are looking at the patient. So all the radiographs on your (the viewers) right is the patients left. Typically the radiographs are positioned with the anterior teeth towards the middle and posterior teeth towards the outside/lateral aspects. So if you see a radiograph of the maxillary teeth with the distal most molar (for example a third molar) to the viewers right it is the patients left side. Please let me know if you have any other questions and glad to hear you enjoy the twitter. 🙂

  2. Hello! I am a dentist (and a teacher) . I am asking if I have a permission to use your radiograp -pictures in this site.

    1. Tarja,

      Yes, please feel free to use these images for teaching purposes. I only ask that you cite where you found them. If you’d like to see any specific topics that you feel the site needs more information on, please let me know.

      Thanks. 🙂
