Now that you know how to identify the zygomatic process of the maxilla it’s very easy to find the zygomatic bone. The zygomatic bone presents as a well-defined radiopaque area directly lateral/distal to the zygomatic process of the maxilla.
Periapical radiographs – zygomatic bone noted with yellow.
Pantomographs – inferior border of the right zygomatic bone noted with yellow line.
If you have any questions or comments about the zygomatic bone, please leave them below. Thanks and enjoy!
