Diagnosis of Dental and Mandibular Pathologies from Orthopantomography

Abstract

The present study emphasizes on the diagnostic value of Orthopantomography and different appearances of pathologies in panoramic radiographs. Orthopantomography (OPG) has proved its work in dentistry for many years, which often  offers a valuable alternative beyond  the supplementary evidence provided by routine radiological techniques.  It is concluded that OPG is of great value when you are suspecting multiple dental pathology & either maxillary or mandibualr cystic or neoplastic lesion. In case of trauma it is mandatory for complete evaluation as well as pre & post-operative evaluation.
