Assessment of Panoramic Radiography Accuracy in Detecting Interdental Bone Loss: Key Findings for Dental Professionals

Posted: December 1, 2024
The study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of panoramic radiography in detecting interdental alveolar bone loss (ABL) compared to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Results showed that panoramic radiography had an 85% overall accuracy in diagnosing ABL, with higher accuracy in molars compared to incisors. The study highlighted the reliability of measuring ABL in the posterior mandibular areas using panoramic radiographs but noted that digital panoramic radiography may underestimate the actual ABL. Panoramic radiography is shown to be a valuable tool in assessing ABL, with good agreement with CBCT in maxillary areas.
