Aim: The aim of this review was to evaluate the scientific literature regarding cytogenetic damage in oral exfoliated cells adult patients submitted panoramic X-ray. Materials and Methods: An extensive search conducted on PubMed, Scopus Web Science databases for all studies published until April 2021 using combinations following keywords: “panoramic X-ray,” “DNA damage,” “genetic damage”, “geno...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to compare the mandibular bone density between postmenopausal women with normal skeletal bone mass density (BMD) and those with low skeletal BMD using digital panoramic radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred fifteen postmenopausal women were divided into normal and osteoporotic/osteopenic groups. Digital panoramic radiographs were prepared using Digo...

PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate the trabecular pattern on panoramic radiographs to predict age-related osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-one postmenopausal osteoporotic women and 25 postmenopausal healthy women between the ages of 50 and 88 were enrolled in this study. The bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar vertebrae and femur were calculate...

OBJECTIVES Mandibular cortical width (MCW) detected on panoramic radiographs may be useful for identifying postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. There is little known regarding whether alveolar bone loss (ABL) of the mandible detected on panoramic radiographs is a potentially accurate screening tool for osteoporosis in comparison with MCW. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether ABL...

This paper presents a comparative study of performance for four wavelet-based multiresolution image registration techniques. The proposed algorithms are implemented and applied to dental panoramic X-ray images and magnetic resonance (MR) images of the brain. Cross-correlation based registration, mutualinformation (MI) based hierarchical registration, scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) bas...

The notable improvements on performance and low cost of digital cameras and GPS/IMU devices have caused MMSs (Mobile Mapping Systems) to be gradually becoming one of the most important devices for mapping highway and railway networks, generating and updating road navigation data and constructing urban 3D models over the last 20 years. Moreover, the demands for large scale visual street-level im...

Panoramic and intraoral radiographs are the basic imaging modalities used in dentistry. Often they are the only imaging techniques required for delineation of dental anatomy or pathology. Panoramic radiography produces a single image of the maxilla, mandible, teeth, temporomandibular joints and maxillary sinuses. During the exposure the x-ray source and detector rotate synchronously around the ...

AIM The objective of this report is to describe the implementation and pilot-test of an integrated wireless local area network (WLAN) system that incorporated the Planmeca Promax CCD based digital panoramic/cephalometric x-ray system, Dolphin(R) software, and multiple remote user units to increase the efficiency of data management by the residents in the Department of Orthodontics. BACKGROUND...

The aim of this study is to measure the radiographic dose in adult, adolescent, and child head-sized PMMA phantoms for three panoramic-imaging devices: the panoramic mode on two CBCT machines (Carestream 9300 and i-CAT NG) and the Planmeca ProMax 2D. A SEDENTEXCT dose index adult phantom and custom-built adolescent and pediatric PMMA dosimetry phantoms were used. Panoramic radiographs were perf...
