Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryAn intraoral periapical x-ray is the primary diagnostic tool for
detecting impacted molars. This type of x-ray provides a detailed view of the
entire tooth, including the surrounding bone and tissues, allowing the dentist
to determine the position and angulation of the impacted tooth in relation to
the adjacent structures. However, a CBCT may be used in more complex cases for a
three-dimensional assessment.
