In this x-ray, there is a Porcelain fused to metal crown/bridge (PFM). The red arrow shows a RO (metal) surrounded by RL shadow (porcelain), pointed out by the green arrows.

The stainless steel crown (SSC) is a strong metal cap covering the entire primary tooth following a pulpotomy/pulpectomy and treated teeth with large carious lesions.

A diastema is a space or gap between two teeth. most commonly between the incisors.It is primarily caused by imbalance in the relationship between the jaw and the size of teeth. If the labial frenulum (lip tissue) pulls, it can also push the teeth apart and cause a diastema between the center of the two front teeth.

The coronoid process is visible on the maxillary molar periapical radiographs.This typically due to the posterior placement of the image receptor and holder causing the patient to open wide and move the coronoid process anterior and inferior. It will appear as a radiopaque triangle at the distal aspect of periapical radiographs.

The ghost image of the left earring appears larger in size and on the opposite side of the film.
