The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between loss of radiographic crestal bone height in panoramic, bitewing and periapical radiography and to probe the attachment loss after periodontal treatment. Radiographic and probing measurements were made at baseline and after one year The population in the study consisted of 21 individuals, 13 females and 8 males, ages 18-59 [mean 35....

objective: in this study, the usefulness of panoramic mandibular index (pmi) on panoramic radiographs in diagnosis of osteoporosis was evaluated and its correlation with bone mineral density (bmd) of the neck of femur and spine was determined. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 140 patients (all females) were categorized as either normal, osteopenic or osteoporotic according ...

PURPOSE This study was performed to determine the relative frequency of positioning errors, to identify those errors directly responsible for diagnostically inadequate images, and to assess the quality of panoramic radiographs in a sample of records collected from a dental college. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of 1,782 panoramic radiographs obtained from the Department of Oral a...

This work aimed to evaluate the occurrence of suggestive images of styloid process elongation in panoramic radiographs, noting their frequency according to sex, age, and location, as well as measure and classify the types and patterns of calcification of elongated styloid processes. 2,500 panoramic radiographs were evaluated in a Radiology Clinic in Recife, PE, Brazil, performed between 2008 an...

introduction: although proximal dental caries are very common, clinical examinations cannot detect them all. panoramic radiography has been widely used in dentistry for both diagnosis and screening. this study aimed to investigate and compare the efficacy of two digital panoramic radiography techniques in the diagnosis of proximal caries. methods: a total number of 60 patients referred to a den...

accurately localizing the mental foramen and mandibular canal is important when administering local anesthesia and performing surgery; therefore, knowing the normal range of the possible locations is essential. our purpose was to assess the location of the mental foramen and mandibular canal in an iranian population using panoramic radiography.standard panoramic radiographies were performed. th...

Two female patients presented with multiple radiolucent lesions noted on panoramic radiography. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans confirmed “punched-out” affecting the skull.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate image quality for marginal bone tissue assessment on panoramic radiographs taken with the Scanora dental programme and on posterior bitewing radiographs. METHODS Panoramic and bitewing radiographs were taken of 96 patients. Six observers rated marginal bone level visibility as excellent, acceptable, or unacceptable. Five observers assessed image quality for detection of...
