The invention relates to a dental x-ray diagnostic installation comprising an applicator capable of introduction into the mouth of a patient on which is arranged an exit window from which x-radiation emitted by an anode can issue and expose a panoramic x-ray film applied externally of the patient's mouth. Associated with the installation is a holding system with which the x-ray film is supported in a defined position relative to the applicator and to the patient's mouth.
