“…Previous workers, reviewed by Rushton and Horner have addressed the child patient solely from the standpoint of the use of panoramic radiography in orthodontic diagnosis. 6 It was, therefore, considered inappropriate to combine adult and child patients in one study. As the study sample mirrored the age profile of the DPB population there was, as already discussed, an age bias towards younger adults.…”

“…Numerous studies, reviewed previously, 6 have demonstrated the inferiority of panoramic radiographs for the radiographic diagnosis of common dental pathology. Regardless of the reasons for choosing to take only a panoramic film, this study suggests that there is an urgent need for instituting a concerted educational programme to change these radiological practices and that this incentive should rapidly be instigated for the sake of quality of patient care.…”

“…6 However, these studies were not performed in general dental practice, instead they were surveys of hospital patients or of specific target groups of individuals. Furthermore, these previous studies have recorded all radiological findings, regardless of whether they were of clinical significance or whether they would have been identified on posterior bitewing radiography.…”

IntroductionPanoramic radiography quality can be impaired by some errors such as positioning errors. Palatoglossal air space shadow error is one of the most common positioning errors and it is due to the tongue not sticking to the roof of the palate. Techniques used to deal with this error might help prevent unnecessary radiation to patients and save them time and money. The study aimed to investigate the effects of using celluloid matrix and edible tapes (fruit leather and chewing gum) on reducing the palatoglossal air space shadow error in panoramic imaging.MethodsIn our study, 270 patients referred to the Department of Radiology were randomised into three groups: a control group, a celluloid matrix group and an edible tapes group. Before panoramic imaging, all patients were instructed to adhere their tongues to the roof of their mouths, with the distinction that for the celluloid matrix and edible tapes groups, patients were asked to place celluloid tapes, fruit leathers, or chewing gums on their tongues before doing so. The routine imaging process was then performed, and the results were compared across groups to evaluate the incidence of palatoglossal air space shadow error.ResultsThe number of error‐free images in each fruit leather, chewing gum and celluloid tape group were significantly higher than the control group (all cases P < 0.05). The chances of error‐free images in the fruit leather groups were the highest (9.57 times). The age (P = 0.136) and gender (P = 0.272) of patients had no significant effect on the results of interventions.ConclusionThe application of fruit leathers, chewing gums and celluloid tapes reduced the palatoglossal air space shadow error of panoramic imaging.
