IOPA stands for “Intraoral Periapical” and refers to a type of digital dental x-ray. IOPA x-rays are a type of digital dental x-ray that captures images of a single tooth, including the roots and surrounding bone. They are used to diagnose dental problems such as cavities, abscesses, and impacted teeth. The images captured by IOPA x-rays are clearer and more detailed than traditional x-rays, allowing dentists to make more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
