    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Radiology
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Imaging

    Background:

    • Panoramic radiography is a common dental imaging technique.
    • Artifacts can mimic or obscure true pathology, leading to misdiagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a case of a phantom tooth artifact in the anterior maxilla.
    • To highlight the importance of proper patient positioning in panoramic radiography.

    Main Methods:

    • A case report detailing a specific instance of a phantom tooth artifact.
    • Analysis of a panoramic radiograph exhibiting the artifact.

    Main Results:

    • A phantom tooth was observed in the anterior maxilla on the panoramic radiograph.
    • The phantom tooth was determined to be an artifact caused by poor patient positioning.

    Conclusions:

    • Incorrect positioning during panoramic radiography can create phantom teeth.
    • Radiologists and dentists must be aware of common artifacts to ensure accurate diagnoses.
