The study investigates the prevalence of second incisor hypodontia and canine impaction in Croatia. The study of incisor hypodontia encompassed 568 examinees (229 boys, 339 girls) aged 6-22 (X = 11.2, SD = 2.8) while for canine impaction, a subsample of 170 examinees older than 13 years was formed (68 boys and 102 girls). The participants were non-selected ambulatory patients of the Dental Clin...

to report the association of pulp calcification with that of cardiovascular disease (cvd) using digital panoramic dental radiographs.digital panoramic radiographs of patients referred from the angiography department were included if the patient was under 55 years old and had non-restored or minimally restored molars and canines. an oral and maxillofacial radiologist evaluated the images for pul...

Creating of panoramic images is a common technique nowadays. The needed components are a sequence of overlapping digital images and a suitable stitching software. There are several software available for combining single images together just by few mouse clicks. They can also take care of the image distortions and adjust the radiometric differences so that the final image looks very consistent....

Radiography of the maxillary sinuses is often undertaken using computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or the occipito-mental plain x-ray film projection. However the panoramic radiograph has been found superior to the latter for detection of “cyst-like densities.” [1]. The occipito-mental technique, first described by Waters and Waldron, clearly demonstrates the superior, inferior and...

PURPOSE This study compared the SCGAs measured in three types of radiographic images (panoramic, CBCT panoramic-section, and CBCT cross-section images) with values measured using the protrusive occlusal record. MATERIALS AND METHODS SCGAs were measured in 20 patients on a semi-adjustable articulator using the protrusive interocclusal record. Panoramic and CBCT images were obtained. SCGAs were...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this cross-sectional analytic study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of panoramic-based indices of the mandible (Mental Index-MI, Mandibular Cortical Index-MCI and Panoramic Mandibular Index-PMI) and to determine their correlation with bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae (L2-L4) in order to assess the possibility of using these paramet...

A 15-year-old girl was referred to a dentist complaining of parageusia, bad taste in the mouth, which started 9 months ago. Panoramic X-ray and non-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed multiple bilateral unilocular cysts in the mandible and maxilla, along with calcification of anterior part of the falx cerebri. She was eventually diagnosed with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome based on imaging and h...

Background: X-ray equipment used for radiographic examination according to Bapeten regulations must undergo a compliance test, both new installation and relocating. The Panoramic Chepalometry in the Department of Radiodiagnostics Radiotherapy Techniques Semarang is device has undergone relocation from initial installation. In addition, unique condition direct image processing or radiography, so...
