Abstract:
The panoramic radiographs of 507 consecutive patients receiving comprehensive dental treatment were evaluated for the presence of radiolucencies in the mandibular condyles. Nine patients met the study criteria. Five patients had bilateral and four patients had unilateral circumscribed radiolucencies in the anterior aspect of the condyle. Computerized tomography confirmed that these radiolucencies were age-related anatomic variants that were accentuated and distorted during panoramic radiography.
