Oral diagnosis is the main division of all systemic diseases that give symtoms within the oral cavity in addition to oral diseases. Many systemic diseases manifest important symptoms within the mouth. Jaw bones and joints, salivary glands, diseases of all soft tissues on the tongue or in the mouth, are the area of interest of dentistry.
With the advanced technology, it became easier to image the whole oral cavity and to diagnose the diseases of the jaw bones and teeth. Imaging techniques that facilitate the diagnosis of the diseases, assist the treatment of these diseases as well. Most common imaging techniques currently are intaoral camera, panoramic X-ray and periapical X-ray.
