| Lateral cephalogram | Skeletal + dental relationships, orthodontic analysis | SNA, SNB, ANB, facial growth pattern |
| PA cephalogram | Facial asymmetry, transverse discrepancies | Compare right vs left |
| Submentovertex (SMV / basal view) | Zygomatic arches, cranial base, mandibular condyles | Best for zygomatic arch fractures |
| Waters (occipitomental) | Maxillary sinus, midface fractures, orbital floor | Classic view for maxillary sinus |
| Caldwell view | Frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus, orbital region | Occipitofrontal projection |
| Reverse Towne's | Condylar neck/head fractures | Especially useful for medial displacement |
| Towne's view | Occipital bone, condyles, posterior cranial structures | Less commonly used in routine dental practice |
| Lateral skull | Cranial bones, sella turcica, fractures | Also useful for cephalometry |
| PA skull | Frontal bone, frontal sinus, asymmetry | Facial/skull assessment |
| Oblique lateral jaw | Body/ramus of mandible | Useful when intraoral imaging isn't possible |
| Mandibular occlusal | Lingual/buccal cortical expansion, anterior mandible | Localization of lesions/stones |
| Maxillary occlusal | Anterior maxilla, impacted teeth, expansion | Useful for localization |
