Efficient examination and characterization of periodontal disease determines the degree of severity of the condition. Once the disease is staged, the practitioner can determine appropriate treatment; accurately prognose; and monitor progress on follow-up examination. Accurate diagnosis is facilitated in many cases by the use of intraoral radiography. Choice of treatment strategy is based on tho...

Before the advent of OPG and CBCT; Intraoral periapical radiography was mainstay of dental imaging since years. CBCT was rst adapted for potential clinical use in 1982 at the Mayo Clinic Biodynamics Research Laboratory. This technique is a recent development and is found to be more efcient and economical than conventional tomography or CT in oral diagnosis. CBCT allows better 3D visualisation...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to report an unusual case actinomycosis in the maxilla region asymptomatic patient. A 21-year-old white man was referred for analysis panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomography, where it observed presence a hypodense lesion on left side maxilla, which extended from maxillary central incisor second premolar. During intraoral examination, depression ...

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 ...

Abstract The aim of this article is to discuss the sequelae a missing tooth from normal series dental arch and importance cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in diagnosis treatment planning such cases. We also correlate position an impacted maxillary premolar as seen on panoramic radiography with CBCT. Routine imaging modalities like intraoral periapical, occlusal, view often give inadequate i...

OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic potential of 2 different cone-beam computerized tomography (CT) units and compare this with intraoral digital and conventional film in the detection of chemically created periapical lesions. STUDY DESIGN Periapical lesions were created chemically in 27 intact roots of 23 teeth (6 incisors, 4 canines, 6 premolars, and 7 molars). Cone-beam CT and digital and f...
