The purpose of this study was to compare the physical imaging properties of three kinds of imaging plates (IPs) used with two photostimulable phosphor systems for dental radiography: HR-V, used with the Digora, BAS-SR, and ST-V, used with the DenOptix for intraoral radiography and panoramic radiography, respectively. Sensitivity to X-ray, gradient, modulation transfer function (MTF), noise powe...

PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate the prevalence of all types and subtypes of dental anomalies among 7- to 35-year-old patients by using panoramic radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1649 people in Hamadan City, in 2012-2013. The prevalence of four types and 12 subtypes of dental anomalies was evaluated by two observers separately by using...

The dental pattern is defined as the combination of distinct codes assigned to describe specific tooth conditions including virgin, missing, and restored teeth that comprise the complete dentition or from discrete groups of teeth. This pattern can be then compared to the dentition of individual/s in an attempt to determine positive identification. The aims of the present investigation were to s...

Panoramic Dental Radiography (PDR) image processing is one of the most extensively used manual methods for gender determination in forensic medicine. With assistance PDR images, a person's biological can be performed through analyzing skeletal structures expressing sexual dimorphism. Manual approaches require wide range mandibular parameter measurements metric units. Besides being time-consumin...

Pre-Eruptive Intracronal Radiolucency (PEIR) is seen as a radiolucent anomaly at coronal dentin of unerupted teeth. PEIR is often confused because of similarities with dental caries. Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorptions are typically observed as radiolucency in dentin tissue, and the lesions are close to the enamel dentin junction. Lesions are often coincidentally noticed on the radiographs of...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dental radiographic characteristics as described in 40 records of patients with panoramic radiography. Material and Methods: The patients were in the range of 6-17 years old, and were divided into two groups (20 subjects who were compatible with the normality standard and 20 individuals diagnosed with the FXS), which were matched for ge...

Dental implant and chin osteotomy are executed on the mandible body and the mental nerve is an important anatomical limit. The aim of this research was to know the position of the mental nerve loop comparing result in panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomography. We analyzed 94 hemimandibles and the patient sample comprised female and male subjects of ages ranging from 18 to 52 years...

Aims and objectives: To compare the accuracy of prediction of osteoporosis in digital panoramic radiography with Dual Xray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans and serum investigations such, as calcium, phosphorous, alkaline phosphatase in postmenopausal women. The objective of the study is to detect the appearance of eroded mandibular cortex (cortical shape), inferior cortical width appearance on Digit...

BACKGROUND Benign maxillo-mandibular tumors and cysts, which are relatively common findings on radiographs, namely the ubiquitous panoramic view, have to be dealt with by dentists on a daily basis. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the panoramic radiographic findings pertaining to benign and tumoral lesions in the maxilla and mandible. PATIENTS AND METHODS Applying a case seri...
