“…Previous studies investigated positive radiographic findings in completely and partially edentulous patients in several countries and different results were reported that the prevalence of positive radiographic findings varied between 0.33 % and 68 %. 1,4,9,10,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] The differences between results may arise from the considered variables, socio-cultural differences, improved technology, a greater accessibility of imaging facilities etc. In this study, one or more positive radiographic findings were found in 51 % of the patients.…”

“…8 Previous studies reported that several anatomic considerations such as location of mandibular canal, mental foramen, mucosal thickness, status of alveolar crest, relationship between alveolar crest and maxillary sinus may affect prosthetic treatment planning. [9][10][11] Radiographic examination is necessary for evaluation of these conditions. 5 Many pathologic changes are observed in radiographic examination of apparently healthy edentulous jaws during clinical examination.…”

Aim: Panoramic radiography is a diagnostic modality for providing a view of the entire maxillofacial region and used as an initial screening tool to examine partially and completely edentulous jaws in pretreatment assessment. Material-method:This study included digital panoramic images of 321 partially and totally edentulous patients. The images were evaluated for positive radiographic findings including presence of retained root fragments, impacted teeth, radiolucencies, radiopacities, proximity of the mental foramen and maxillary sinus to the residual alveolar ridge. Results: Totally 538 edentulous jaws were examined in 321 individuals (51.1 % females, 48.9 % males) mean aged 57.3 (standard deviation=11.5). The rate of completely edentulous jaws was 29 % (n=156) and the rate of partially edentulous jaws was 71 %. Prevalence of one or more positive radiographic findings was found to be 51 %. Of the radiographic findings, 49.4 % was in females and 50.6 % in males. The most frequent finding was retained root fragments (15.6 %), followed by location of the maxillary sinus close to the alveolar crest (10.6 %), radioopacities (9.3 %), impacted teeth (8 %), location of the mental foramen on the crest (6.8 %) and radiolucencies (1.2 %). Conclusion: Prevalence of positive radiographic findings was found to be relatively high in clinically healthy looking edentulous patients in this study. This result confirmed that pretreatment panoramic examination is necessary to detect pathologies and requirement of any dental procedure for a successful prosthodontic rehabilitation. Key words: Panoramic radiography, edentulous patients, radiographic evaluation ÖZET Amaç: Panoramik radyografi tüm maksillofasiyal bölgenin görülmesine olanak sağlayan bir diagnostik yöntemdir ve parsiyel ve tam dişsiz çenelerin tedavi öncesi değerlendirmesinde ilk inceleme yöntemi olarak kullanılır. Gereç ve yöntem: Bu çalışmada 321 parsiyel ve total dişsiz hastanın dijital panoramik görüntüsü incelendi. Görüntüler, kök artıkları, gömülü dişler, radyolusensiler, radyoopasiteler, mental foramen ve maksiller sinüsün alveolar kret tepesine yakınlığı gibi pozitif radyografik bulgular yönünden değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 57.3 (standart sapma=11.5) olan 321 (% 51.1 kadın, % 48.9 erkek) hastada toplam 538 dişsiz çene incelendi. Total dişsiz çenelerin oranı % 29 (n=156) ve parsiyel dişsiz çenelerin oranı i% 71'di. Bir veya daha fazla pozitif radyografik bulguların görülme sıklığı, % 51 olarak bulundu. Bunların % 49.4'ü kadın, % 50.6'sı erkeklerdeydi. En fazla görülen bulgu artık köklerdi (% 15.6), bunu maksiller sinüsün alveolar krete yakınlığı (% 10.6), radyoopasiteler (% 9.3), gömülü dişler (% 8), mental foramenin alveolar krete yakınlığı (% 6.8) ve radyolusensiler (% 1.2) takip etmekteydi. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada klinik olarak sağlıklı görünen dişsiz hastalardaki pozitif radyografik bulguların görülme sıklığı, göreceli olarak yüksek bulundu. Bu sonuç başarılı bir prostodontik tedavi için herhangi bir işlemin gerekliliğini ve patolojilerin b...

“…13,14 Panoramic radiographic studies of asymptomatic patients suggest a prevalence for residual cysts of up to 2%. 15 Residual radicular cysts are slowly resolving lesions and those that persist or increase in size are more likely secondarily infected. 16 These lesions can persist for long periods owing to the mechanism which prolongs the process.…”

A radicular cyst associated with carious teeth is a very common odontogenic lesion in the oral cavity, but calcifications in residual radicular cysts are quite rare. We report one such case where a routine pre-implant radiographic assessment revealed a mixed periapical radiopaque radiolucent lesion in the right maxillary central incisor region. Histological and radiographic studies show that there is a slow increase in the mineralized deposits within the cyst lumen with time. This becomes prominent histochemically in cysts more than 8 years old and radiographically 6 years later, as seen in our case. In this paper we would like to highlight the importance of a residual radicular cyst with calcifications in the differential diagnosis of a mixed periapical radiopaque radiolucent lesion.

In the present survey the radiographic findings in the jaws of 124 clinically edentulous old people living at home in Helsinki, Finland, were studied, using panoramic radiography supplemented by intraoral radiographs. Only 9% of the subjects had root remains. Impacted teeth were found in 4%, radiolucent lesions in 3%, and radiopaque findings in 13%. Deviations from normal condylar structure were found in 17% and mucosal thickenings in the maxillary sinuses in 7%. The mental foramen was situated at the top of the residual ridge in 42% of the subjects. Topically situated mental foramen and condylar changes were commoner in women. The radiographic oral health status of the population studied was good.
