“…11,[28][29][30] Many of the problems highlighted relate to the lack of orthogonality of the beam to the dental arch leading to horizontal overlap of the approximal regions of the teeth whilst incorrect patient positioning in the focal trough can exacerbate this problem. The conclusions drawn from these studies submit that bitewing radiography has a greater diagnostic accuracy in detecting caries lesions than panoramic radiography which supports the advice promoted by the national guidelines.…”

“…Over the last two decades, most countries around the world have adopted panoramic radiography in general practice [1][2][3][4]. The principal advantages of panoramic radiographs are the large area of coverage, bilateral view of the anatomy, low radiation dose, and applicability in disabled patients, children, and those unable to open their mouths.…”

Objectives The present study was performed to assess the total and average numbers of radiopaque restorations, missing or impacted teeth, root-canal fillings, crown-fixed partial dentures, and implants in 3,031 radiographs of patients with respect to age and gender in an urban Turkish population. Methods In total, 3,031 panoramic radiographs were examined. The study included all patients examined at the Faculty of Dentistry, Baskent University, Turkey. The total and average numbers of radiopaque restorations, missed or impacted teeth, root-canal fillings, crown-fixed partial dentures, and implants were assessed. The patients were categorized into two groups with respect to age and gender. The patients were further divided into four subgroups with respect to age (14-30, 31-45, 46-60, and [60 years), each of which was evaluated separately. Results Molar teeth were the most frequently restored or missing teeth. The number of posterior restorations increased with age up to 45 but seemed to decrease in the 46-60 and over 60-year-old subgroups. However, the number of missing teeth, and thus fixed partial dentures, and root-canal treatments increased in these subgroups. The number of implants increased with age. Although women had more restored teeth, they also had fewer missing teeth. The total number of restorations on the right side of the mouth was higher than that on the left side. Conclusion This study revealed the oral condition of an urban Turkish population. Future multicenter studies conducted periodically will help evaluate the parameters mentioned above regarding the oral-health status of the Turkish population and quality of the dental-care system in Turkey.

“…Following the introduction of dental panoramic tomography (DPT) to dentistry in the 1960s, they have become an integral component of a dentists' diagnostic armamentarium. In 1998, an estimated 2.04 million films were produced, and this number has, no doubt, risen since then. The use of these films has numerous advantages, such as the ability to image the entire dentition, the simplicity of the technique and the relatively low radiation dose involved.…”

Now you see it, now you don't … A case of a displaced root during a routine dental extraction

Routine dental extractions are commonly carried out in general dental practice. Complications associated with extractions in the maxillary arch are rare but well recognised such as oral antral communications and fracture of the buccal plate. In this article, we describe an unusual complication of a ‘disappearing’ canine root and the difficulties in locating its position. To examine the different image modalities employed to determine the location of the root and the advantages of three‐dimensional assessment with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in such cases. In this case, the use of CBCT was invaluable, as the missing root was not initially located using plain film radiographs, but was subsequently located with the use of CBCT. The inadequacy of the plain film and its interpretation in this case caused delay in the patient receiving the required treatment.
