BACKGROUND To evaluate the feasibility of using panoramic radiographs as an alternative to an interocclusal recording method for determining the condylar guidance in dentate and edentulous conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS 20 dentulous individuals with an age range of 20-30 years and 20 edentulous patients of 40-65 years were selected. An interocclusal bite registration was done in protrusive...

Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is the third cause of death in industrialized countries, following cardiovascular disease and cancer. It is therefore a significant public health issue, not only due to its high incidence, but also to the high costs involved in the physical and psychological rehabilitation of these patients. Dental Practitioners, as health care providers, ought to play their part ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the main features of a prototype panoramic X-ray machine modified for photofluorography. METHODS The prototype PTM 2001 (Asahi Roentgen, Kyoto, Japan) consists of a conventional panoramic machine with a modified X-ray generator and incorporating a 9-inch image intensifier and a photofluorographic camera. RESULTS The photofluorographic panoramic radiograph is reduced in...

introduction: panoramic view as a routine dental radiograph has an important role in diagnosis of other facial abnormalities accompanied with dento- alveolar structures. in this case presentation, we discuss this subject and also the efficacy of cone-beam computed tomography in localization of foreign body in complex anatomy of nasal cavity.

a case of maxillary antrolith in a 14-year-old girl is presented. a radiopaque mass, thought to be a supernumerary tooth, was incidentally found on a panoramic radiograph obtained for orthodontic purposes. during surgical exploration the maxillary sinus was penetrated and 6 calcified masses were discovered. histopathologic analysis revealed a calcium deposition around a necrotic mass.

Cherubism is a rare benign hereditary fibro-osseous disease involving the mandible and maxilla. We report a case of cherubism in a 10-year-old girl for which the panoramic radiograph was insufficient for diagnosis of the disease. Clinical, histological, and radiological findings were discussed. The CT was taken and it confirmed not only the involvement of the jaws but also of the temporal bone....

Maxillary sinus is the largest among paranasal which of surgical clinical and anthropological significance. Classification maxillary antrum based on shapes sizes using panoramic radiography have not been developed till date. Different were taken into notice while tracing orthopantomogram. As radiograph most commonly available feasible technology, a deeper study this topic felt compelling. : To ...
