Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Orthopantomography is a common panoramic dental X-ray technique.
  • Accurate diagnosis of mandibular cysts is essential for appropriate treatment.

Observation:

  • A case of misdiagnosis of a large mandibular cyst occurred.
  • The misdiagnosis resulted from sole reliance on orthopantomography.

Findings:

  • Orthopantomography alone can be insufficient for diagnosing large mandibular cysts.
  • Diagnostic errors can arise from over-reliance on a single imaging modality.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the critical role of comprehensive clinical examination in dental diagnosis.
  • Highlights the necessity of integrating multiple radiographic techniques, including intra-oral radiography, for improved diagnostic accuracy.
