“…PAN radiographs are particularly useful in providing an overview of oral hard tissues, foreign bodies, cysts, tumours and other conditions within the jaw (10). However, PAN radiography has been used for the routine screening of patients at various institutions and private clinics (11). This preference may be based on the low radiation dose, simplicity of the application, lesser time requirements and the fact that it is more comfortable for patients as an extra-oral method.…”

Background: In order to determine the presence or absence of a certain disease, multiple diagnostic tests may be necessary. Performance of these tests can be sequentially evaluated. Aims:The aim of the study is to determine the contribution of the test in each step, in reducing diagnostic uncertainty when multiple tests are sequentially used for the diagnosis. Study Design: Diagnostic accuracy studyMethods: Radiographs of seventy-three patients of the Department of Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology of Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry were assessed. Panoramic (PAN), full mouth intraoral (FM), and bitewing (BW) radiographs were used for the diagnosis of proximal caries in the maxillary and mandibular molar regions. Diagnostic performance of radiography was sequentially evaluated by using the reduction in diagnostic uncertainty.Results: FM provided maximum diagnostic information for ruling in potential in the maxillary and mandibular molar regions in the first step. FM provided more diagnostic information than BW radiographs for ruling in the mandibular region in the second step. In the mandibular region, BW radiographs provided more diagnostic information than FM for ruling out in the first step. Conclusion:The presented method in this study provides the clinicians with a solution for the decision of the sequential selection of diagnostic tests for the correct diagnosis of the presence or absence of a certain disease.

“…However, other studies have shown that panoramic radiograph are equal to intraoral radiographs in detecting occlusal caries [19], and the sensitivity and specificity of bitewing radiographs in relation to dental caries detection is poor [20], which would justify the use of panoramic radiographs in this study. Besides, the panoramic radiograph is the most requested radiographic technique in health care and it is used as a form of screening [21][22][23][24][25][26]. Therefore, these images were found in large quantities in our files, which contributed to their choice for this study.…”

InTRODUCTIOn: The quality of dental restorations can be directly related to the maintenance of periodontal health. Particularly in relation to the contour of interproximal restorations, radiographs allow the assessment of possible excess or lack of proximal contact of restorative materials. OBJECTIvE: To evaluate the frequency of adequate and inadequate restorations, the type of restorative material and the relationship of these parameters with periodontal alterations. METhODS: One hundred digital panoramic radiographs were evaluated, with interproximal restorations being observed on these examinations, classifying them according to the material used and the quality of interproximal restoration and the presence of periodontal alterations. The possible correlation between these parameters was evaluated. RESUlTS: The frequency of adequate restorations was 48% of restored proximal surfaces. Among the inadequate restorations, 46.2% and 53.8% were over-contour and lack of proximal contact, respectively. The restorations were metallic in 64% of cases. COnClUSIOn: Over-contour were more common among metal restorations and lack of proximal contact was more frequent among non-metal restorations. The presence of restorations was associated with increased prevalence of periodontal alterations.
