| Objective: Panoramic radiographs often are the first method used to screen edentulous patients before complete denture therapy. However, routine radiographic examination of edentulous patients is being questioned because of the cumulative effects and cost of radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and location of significant radiographic findings in edentulous jaws. Method and Materials: Panoramic radiographs from 338 patients were included in the survey (183 men, 155 women; 676 edentulous arches). The radiographs were evaluated by 1 oral radiology specialist for the following clinically significant radiographic findings: retained root fragments, impacted teeth, radiolucencies associated with cysts, radiopacities associated with localized sclerotic bone formation, location of the mental foramen on the crest, and location of the maxillary sinus close to the crest of the ridge … |
