The following methods of radiographic examinations are used:
- Half-angle technique – apical (concerning the tip) region.
- Parallel right angle long tube (PRL) technique – creation of a tooth film status.
- Panoramic slice technique or orthopantomography (OPG).
- X-ray subtraction analysis
- Digitized X-ray
- Computed tomography (CT; sectional imaging method (X-ray images taken from different directions with computer-based evaluation)).
- Periotron measurement method – Electronic determination of the degree of inflammation of the periodontium. Due to the high correlation between gingival inflammation and the sulcus flow rate, an objective diagnostic method has been developed with the periotron measurement procedure.
