Abstract:
Distortions in the size of images seen on panoramic radiographs can assist the clinician in determining the site of impacted teeth in relation to the dental arch. Application of this principle can often eliminate the necessity for additional radiographic views and prevent exposure of the patient to unnecessary radiation.
