introdouction: the aim of this study was to determine the associations between commonly found pathologic conditions and angulation of the lower third molar teeth. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs consisting of 724 lower third molars were evaluated for any pathologies according to their angulation(mesioangular, distoangular, vertical, or horizontal). ...

introdouction:the styloid process(sp) has the potential for calcification and ossification. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of different patterns of elongation and calcification of the sp. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 400 digital panoramic radiographs taken for routine dental examination in the dental school of shiraz university were evaluated fo...

this study was aimed to investigate the use of panoramic radiography in patients with low bone mineral density (bmd) in order to diagnose and prevent osteoporotic fractures. panoramic radiographs of 60 patients  (20 men and 40 women) aged from 40 to 70 years with cortical thicknesses of less than 3 mm in the mandibular angle were selected from patients referred to a dentomaxillofacial radiology...

This article describes the case of a 78-year-old patient whose mandibular fracture was treated with miniplate osteosynthesis. After initial treatment, panoramic radiography revealed a fracture of the miniplate, and at follow-up, a loosening of the replacement plate. For the dental practitioner, this clinical case highlights the importance of panoramic radiography and occlusal analysis and stabi...

Background: This study evaluated and determined the proximity of an impacted third mandibular molar (TMM) to the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) by using CBCT and digital panoramic radiography. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytic research applied CBCT and panoramic radiographs for 60 subjects (28 men, 32 women). Subjects selected showed a close proximity about the TMM to the inferior...

background: malocclusion, as a worldwide issue, can cause a lot of problems for patients. panoramic (pr) and lateral cephalometric (lcr) radiographs are both usually indicated for orthodontic treatments. the aim of this study was to analyze vertical and sagittal parameters of both jaws on prs and to compare them on lcrs. materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 61 samples from all ...

AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of tube current reduction on image quality using medium and regular intensifying screens as well as a digital system for panoramic radiography. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 150 panoramic images of 75 patients were obtained in the study. The initial images were taken at standard exposure settings, and secondary images were exposed wi...

Introduction: One of the most commonly used radiography methods for the diagnosis of oral and dental diseases is the panoramic radiography technique. This technique is widely used due to ease of implementation, extensive coverage, time and cost savings. Dental radiography, as a routine and appropriate test, accounts for about 33% of the total radiographic examination. However, ...

abstract objectives: radiomorphometric indices measured on simple radiographic images can be used for qualitative and quantitative assessment of bone. panoramic radiographic imaging can therefore assist dentists in early detection of osteoporosis in patients. considering the effect of ethnic and environmental factors on development of osteoporosis and absence of normal values of radiomorphometr...
