A radiographic study of nutrient canals.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the incidence of nutrient canals in a randomly selected population and to correlate the presence of nutrient canals with a variety of factors related to the life of the individual. One hundred sixty patients, 25 years of age or older, having at least six teeth in each arch and requiring a complete-mouth radiographic survey were used. Nutrient canals were found associated with race, high blood pressure, advanced periodontal conditions, multidirectional trabeculae, and small trabecular spaces.

Comparison of interproximal carious lesion detection in panoramic and standard intraoral radiography.

Panoramic radiographs used alone were ineffective diagnostic aids in the detection of early interproximal carious lesions, particularly enamel lesions. The best radiographic survey in terms of numbers of enamel interproximal carious lesions detected was the combination of periapical plus posterior bitewing radiographs. For interproximal lesions extending through the enamel and into the dentin, all combinations except panoramic radiographs used alone showed comparable usefulness. For lesions involving the enamel and dentin, and extending half way or more from the dentinoenamel junction to the pulp, there generally were no significant differences between any of the combinations.
