Anatomic interpretation of the orthopantomogram

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, and Oral Pathology, 1973
Abstract Correct anatomic interpretation of the orthopantomogram is essential if the projection is to be a diagnostic aid. A study was undertaken to outline anatomic landmarks on a dry skull specimen with radiopaque markers. An attempt was made to group the landmarks according to regions.

Dental orthopantomogram biometrics system for human identification

Journal of Clinical Forensic and Legal Medicine, 2013
Fingerprinting is the most widely accepted method of identification of people. But in cases of disfigured, decomposed, burnt or fragmented bodies, it is of limited value. Teeth and dental restorations on the other hand are extremely resistant to destruction by fire.

Medical Uses of the Orthopantomogram

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979
ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPHY is a roentgenographic technique allowing examination of the entire dentoalveolar region on a single film. It is used primarily as a rapid screening examination to show the general anatomic relationships of the maxilla, mandible, and adjacent structures. Although dental films provide much finer detail, the orthopantomogram is a simple,

Anatomical Features and Pathologies in Orthopantomogram

Journal of Healthcare Sciences, 2022
One of the most commonly utilized plain film tomographic scans is the orthopantomogram. Dentists frequently request an OPG as a screening tool. Due to its accurate depiction of the jaws and entire dentition, it is also a powerful diagnostic instrument for determining pathology such as dental disease, cysts, maxillofacial trauma, and dental emergencies.

Dental disease, acute sinusitis and the orthopantomogram

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1988
SummaryThis study was undertaken to determine the incidence of unidagnosed apical disease in acute unilateral sinusitis and to evaluate the role of Orthopantomograms (OPGs).Our results, with an incidence of 10 per cent, are in agreement with the findings of Formby (1960) and we conclude that OPGs are not justified in the routine investigation of acute ...

Classification of jawbone cysts via orthopantomogram processing

2012 35th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP), 2012
The subject of the paper is a method proposed for automated evaluation of the parameters of orthopantomograms of cystic disorders in human jawbones. The main problem in medical diagnostic is the low repeatability due to the subjective evaluation of images/pictures without using a tool for image processing.

An unusual radiopaque image through an orthopantomogram film

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1991
Surgical gauze left in the operative site after surgery may be responsible for bizarre and varied complications. The patient may remain asymptomatic for months or years or may suffer serious or even life-threatening consequences. Such cases can create a difficult diagnostic image and are seldom reported because of medicolegal implications.

[The mandibular angle in the orthopantomogram].

Der Radiologe, 1985
In the orthopantomogram a reproducible determination of the gonial angle is possible. When comparing two orthopantomograms of the same patient, which were taken during routine clinical examination, a variation of the arithmetic mean of the gonial angle by 1 degrees was found. The value of the gonial angle measured in the orthopantomogram is 2.2 degrees
