[The usefulness of pantomographic x-ray pictures in estimating the position of the paramolar and distomolar teeth].

If there are more than 32 teeth in the oral cavity, they are called supernumerous teeth. Distomolars are the fourth molar teeth, in the distal position to the wisdom teeth. Though, paramolars are the supernumerous teeth situated beside the molars. Correct diagnosis of supernumerous teeth is not always easy to conduct basing on pantomographic x-ray pictures. Obtained results indicate that unerupted distomolar teeth are easily found with pantomographic x-ray pictures while the exact localization of unerupted paramolars requires additional x-ray pictures.
