History • First introduced 1959 by S.S. White Corp. as their "Panorex" unit • Designed based on work done in 1949 by Dr. Y.V. Paastero, a Finnish dentist • Essential part of dental diagnosis • Complement to intraoral films • Panorama = "unobstructed view of a region in any direction" Uses in Dentistry Benefits • Broad coverage of the facial bones & teeth • Low patient radiation dose • Convenience of the examination for the patient • Use in patients unable to open their mouths • Short time required to make a panoramic image vs. FMX • Patients don’t mind! Uses • Impacted teeth • Eruption patterns • Growth & Development • Detect diseases, lesions and conditions of the jaws • Examine the extent of large lesions • Evaluate trauma Not Recommended for Dx: • Caries • Periodontal disease • Periapical lesions 2
