This report describes a case of combined dental development abnormalities. A patient with a previous ectopically erupted supernumerary maxillary canine presented a new ectopically erupted supernumerary premaxillary tooth with dens invaginatus (Oehlers' type 2) and an aberrant coronal morphology, including a pit in the distal portion of the palatal surface. This tooth would have been diagnosed e...

Reviewing the literatures, the most frequently impacted tooth was mandibular third molar, followed by the maxillary third molars, the maxillary canines and the mandibular premolars. The current case report aimed to present a rare inverted and impacted maxillary third molar incidentally detected in a patient of mandibular unicystic ameloblastoma on panoramic radiography, highlighting the importa...

BACKGROUND Orthopantomography (panoramic radiography) has been used for the study of measurements involving particularly the prediction of the eruption of impacted lower third molars and analyses of measurements of the ramus and head of mandible. The discrepancies involved with the projection of this radiographic image has stimulated the search for further ways to use it, particularly in orthod...

objectives : to carry out in vivo and in vitro comparative pilot study to evaluate the preciseness of a newly proposed digital dental radiography setup. this setup was based on markers placed on an external frame to eliminate the measurement errors due to incorrect geometry in relative positioning of cone, teeth and the sensor. methods : five patients with previous panoramic images were selecte...

Abstract Panoramic radiography is an extraoral modality that provides two-dimensional information about the teeth and maxillofacial skeleton. It a valuable adjunct for diagnosis treatment planning as it facilitates one-time imaging of all teeth, mandible, parts maxilla including large part maxillary sinus, hard palate temporomandibular joints (TMJs). As tomographic image prone to errors artefac...

OBJECTIVES Developmental anomalies of the dentition are not infrequently observed by the dental practitioner. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of dental anomalies in the Indian population. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study of 4133 panoramic radiographs of patients, who attended the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Jodhpur Dental College General Hospital ...

BACKGROUND The relationship between impacted mandibular third molar and mandibular canal is important for removal of this tooth. Panoramic radiography is one of the commonly used diagnostic tools for evaluating the relationship of these two structures. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of panoramic radiographic findings in predicting direct contact between mandibular canal and impacted thir...

The purpose of this investigation is to quantify and evaluate the diagnostic image quality dental panoramic radiography with without post-processing visualization. 72 photos were analyzed split into two groups: post processing image. Each picture was given a score based on subject's perception anatomical zone features, as well density contrast According these specifications, digital system that...
