A survey of disease changes observed on dental panoramic tomographs taken of patients attending a periodontology clinic.

Dental panoramic tomographs (DPTs) were taken consecutively of 500 patients referred to a specialist periodontal department by general dental practitioners in order to assist in the diagnosis of the severity of the periodontal disease. Analysis of these DPTs showed 316 (63.2%) of these patients to have some form of dental abnormality unrelated to periodontal disease. The DPT was shown to be a valuable screening technique for clinical practice.
