BACKGROUND AND AIMS Panoramic radiography is a method widely used because of low absorbed dose in patients (ap-proximately 10 times less than that in the full mouth survey), reasonable cost and time. Disadvantages of this radiography technique are magnification and distortion as a result of unequal magnification, which can influence dimensional and angular measurements used in clinical dentistr...

OBJECTIVE To assess the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity produced by X-rays in the epithelium of the oral mucosa of infants exposed to panoramic radiography. METHODS The sample consisted of 30 healthy children, 19 females and 11 males, ranging in age from 4 to 10 years (average of 7 years of age). Oral mucosa cells were collected by liquid-based cytology immediately before and after seven days f...

Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate intrasurgical and after surgical, pain and the incidence of after surgical alteration of sensation in the mandible and lower lip when placing implants in the posterior mandible using ridge mapping, panoramic radiography, and infiltration anesthesia. Methods. This was a longitudinal clinical study of healthy patients needing implant placement ...

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...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of imaging methods for detection of apical periodontitis (AP). Imaging records from a consecutive sample of 888 imaging exams of patients with endodontic infection (1508 teeth), including cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic and periapical radiographs, were selected. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and accuracy of per...
