Sir why is there radiolucent area in zone 5

[@TmjPaincare]

That's the shadow of oropharyngeal airway

[@JitendraSinghRathore-ms6zy]

Sir it can detect tumour and cancer in teeth?

[@TmjPaincare]

Yes to some extent.. opg is a very useful radiograph for initial basic assessment of jaws.

[@TmjPaincare]

Because of the overlap of the cervical vertebrae.
