“…4,12,13 Similar findings have been reported for the panoramic assessment of periodontal bone loss. 4,10,14,15 Dentists are well aware of these limitations 2 but, as previously shown, 6 the majority of patients (57%) in this study had no radiographs other than the panoramic film taken. Current guidelines 5 endorse the use of bitewing radiography for all new dentate patients.…”

Objectives To measure the radiological diagnostic yield on screening panoramic radiographs taken of new adult patients and to identify selection criteria for panoramic radiography of new adult patients. Design Survey of 1,817 consecutive panoramic radiographs taken as 'routine' on new patients with statistical analysis of clinical and radiological findings. Setting All radiographs were obtained from 41 general dental practitioners (GDPs). The GDPs provided the clinical information about the patient obtained by history and examination. Collection of material occurred in 1998/1999. Materials and methods Two dental radiologists recorded the radiological findings on each of 1,817 panoramic radiographs by consensus. Those findings that would have been identified from bilateral posterior bitewing radiographs of each patient were then excluded to give modified figures for radiological findings. Main outcome measures Indices of diagnostic yield were devised and calculated for each radiograph from the data on radiological findings. Total diagnostic yield (DY) and modified diagnostic yield (MDY), after exclusion of findings identifiable on bitewing radiographs, were both calculated. Clinical indicators of a high MDY were identified using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results MDY was 0 for 17% of the radiographs (all patients) and 23% of the radiographs when the asymptomatic group were considered. The clinical variables for which the significance was high (p<0.001) were: increasing number of teeth with clinical suspicion of periapical pathology, presence of partially erupted teeth, increasing number of clinically evident carious lesions, partially dentate status and presence of crowns. Conclusion Taking posterior bitewing radiographs of new adult patients would reduce the diagnostic yield identified solely by panoramic radiography. Using clinical factors derived from the history and examination as radiographic selection criteria modestly improves the odds of achieving a high diagnostic yield from panoramic radiography.

“…Also localized early onset periodontitis primarily affects molars and incisors and tend to occur around puberty [14]. The children were further divided into group 1 ( 9-10 years ) and group 2 (11-12 years).This was done as 9-10 years is actually the inter transitional period during mixed dentition period and is relatively stable while premolars and permanent 2 nd molars erupt into the oral cavity during 11-12 years of age which could possibly alter the alveolar bone physiology during this time.…”

Background: Recent studies have indicated that aggressive periodontitis in the permanent dentition of adolescents often is preceded by bone loss in the primary and mixed dentition. Hence it is necessary to detectand treat these patients for preventing the transition of the disease from primary to permanent dentition. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to radiographically determine the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) to alveolar bone crest (ABC) distance in the interproximal areas of permanent molars and central incisors during the mixed dentition period.

“…In routine dental practice, 10-14 IOPAs (Intra-oral periapical radiographs) and panoramic radiographs (OPG) are the most established imaging techniques [6,7]. However they tend to underestimate the bone loss and they also often tend to obscure defects, dehiscences, etc., especially when they are placed behind structures like roots, or when they are present on the lingual/palatal plates.…”

Dentascan – Is the Investment Worth the Hype ???

Background: Open Bone Measurement (OBM) and Bone Sounding (BS) are most reliable but invasive clinical methods for Alveolar Bone Level (ABL) assessment, causing discomfort to the patient. Routinely, IOPAs & OPGs are the commonest radiographic techniques used, which tend to underestimate bone loss and obscure buccal/lingual defects. Novel technique like dentascan (CBCT) eliminates this limitation by giving images in 3 planes -sagittal, coronal and axial.
