“…Douglass et al reported that the mean positive and negative predictive values of periapical, bitewing and panoramic radiographs for the detection of dental caries in molar area were nearly identical 11. These results were in agreement with Oba and Katayama12 and Stewart and Bieser13…”

“…Kidd and Pitts reviewed the literatures and concluded the use of bitewing radiography was essential if much approximal caries was not to be missed 7. For this reason, most of previous studies have compared the caries detection between panoramic and intraoral radiographs,7-13 and there were few studies comparing the panoramic radiography and clinical examination 2,14,15…”

“…Although it was obvious that the intraoral radiographs showed higher accuracy to the panoramic radiographs for the detection of anterior carious lesions due to the low image quality of panoramic radiograph in the anterior region,9,11-13 the detectability of dental caries in molar area of panoramic radiographs was comparable with that of intraoral radiographs 9,10,12,13. Galal et al reported that bitewing radiographs detected the most proximal caries in molar area and there was no significant differences between periapical and panoramic radiographs 9.…”

“…However, diagnostic accuracy of anterior region on panoramic radiograph is lower than that of intraoral radiographs 9,11-13. However, using panoramic radiography with selective intraoral radiographs in national oral examination for better diagnostic accuracy requires much more time and resources.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this review is to evaluate the possibility of panoramic radiography as a national oral examination tool.Materials and MethodsThis report was carried out by review of the literatures.ResultsPanoramic radiography has sufficient diagnostic accuracy in dental caries, periodontal diseases, and other lesions. Also, the effective dose of panoramic radiography is lower than traditional full-mouth periapical radiography.ConclusionPanoramic radiography will improve the efficacy of dental examination in national oral examination. However, more studies are required to evaluate the benefit, financial cost, and operation time and also to make selection criteria and quality management program.

“…If necessary, periapical radiographs are preferred for these regions. A number of investigations have compared conventional intraoral radiography with PAN radiography for the diagnosis of caries (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). However, in this study, the ability of radiographic techniques to reveal both the presence and absence of caries was measured.…”

Background: In order to determine the presence or absence of a certain disease, multiple diagnostic tests may be necessary. Performance of these tests can be sequentially evaluated. Aims:The aim of the study is to determine the contribution of the test in each step, in reducing diagnostic uncertainty when multiple tests are sequentially used for the diagnosis. Study Design: Diagnostic accuracy studyMethods: Radiographs of seventy-three patients of the Department of Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology of Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry were assessed. Panoramic (PAN), full mouth intraoral (FM), and bitewing (BW) radiographs were used for the diagnosis of proximal caries in the maxillary and mandibular molar regions. Diagnostic performance of radiography was sequentially evaluated by using the reduction in diagnostic uncertainty.Results: FM provided maximum diagnostic information for ruling in potential in the maxillary and mandibular molar regions in the first step. FM provided more diagnostic information than BW radiographs for ruling in the mandibular region in the second step. In the mandibular region, BW radiographs provided more diagnostic information than FM for ruling out in the first step. Conclusion:The presented method in this study provides the clinicians with a solution for the decision of the sequential selection of diagnostic tests for the correct diagnosis of the presence or absence of a certain disease.

SUMMARYA case of submandibular gland pleomorphic adenoma in association with duct lithiasis is presented. These are probably incidental findings, but it is possible that they may be causally related. associated with duct lithiasis. Such a case is presented here and the possible aetiological factors are discussed. EXAMINATION of the recent CASE REPORTM. M., a Bantu female aged 43 years, was admitted to the General Hospital, Johannesburg, in February, 1971, with a 1-year history of a painful tender swelling in the area of the left submandibular gland. The mass had slowly been increasing in size and was more tender and painful during mastication. There had been a recent weight-loss of about 4 kg. Systematic and past history revealed nothing of significance.On examination the patient was found to be a fit middle-aged female with a discrete oval swelling measuring 2.5 x 3 cm. in the position of the left submandibular gland. The surface of the mass was slightly lobulated and the gland was mildly tender. No cervical lymphadenopathy was detected. Palpation of the floor of the mouth revealed a 1-cm. calculus in the posterior part of the left submandibular duct. This was confirmed radiographically (Fig. I). The lungs were clinically and radiologically normal.A diagnosis of sialitis secondary to duct lithiasis was made. Under general anaesthesia and endotracheal intubation a longitudinar mucosal incision was made over the calculus, which was removed. The wound was not sutured. A mild cellulitis at the operative site was treated with antibiotics and it settled after 3 days. The gland remained tender and swollen for 7 days and then diminished slightly in size and became non-tender. The patient was discharged on the fifteenth postoperative day. Over the next 9 weeks the gland remained the same size and without tenderness.The patient was readmitted in May, 1971, for complete removal of the left submandibular gland. This was
