Objectives: To compare the linear measurements from digital panoramic (DP) radiographs and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumes for the localization of the mental foramen (MF).
Material And Methods: Thirty-one patients with panoramic and CBCT radiographs depicted on the same machine were analyzed. The vertical and horizontal positions of the MF were compared by the differences in distances measured from reference points to the boundaries (tangents) of the MF in digital panoramic (DP) and CBCT reformatted panoramic (CRP) views. The vertical position of MF was also analyzed on CBCT oblique coronal views (CORO) and compared with its corresponding distances on DP and CRP views.
Results: Statistically significant differences ( < 0.05) were found in all compared measurements between CRP and DP views. In addition, the vertical distance (Y1) compared between DP, CRP, and CORO views also showed a statistically significant measurement discrepancy in the mean distance ( < 0.000) with the highest mean difference of 1.59 mm ( < 0.05) was attained from Y1 (DP-CORO). Inter- and intra-examiner analysis indicated a high level of agreement for all measurements.
Conclusion: The mean values of discrepancies in measurements between DP and CRP views for horizontal and vertical linear measurements were clinically tolerable. Nevertheless, significant differences in the vertical MF position were detected between the panoramic views (DP, CRP) and the coronal views (CORO). This implies that the use of coronal view measurements during implant planning might reduce the risk of neurovascular injuries.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1-DM) and apical periodontitis (AP). The periapical and endodontic conditions of T1-DM individuals were compared with healthy people.
Methods: T1-DM subjects aged 18-45 with good glycemic control (HbA1c < 7) were included in this research.

Background: Morphological and structural abnormalities are common dental anomalies. Identifying DA and determining their prevalence can play an important role in reducing the risk of surgical intervention and improving occlusion, leading to successful dental treatments. Thus, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of DA using panoramic radiographs (OPG) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia according to gender.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of clinically indicated digital dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) of children with mixed dentition. Despite the likely widespread use of this modality, recent research detailing errors on DPRs is scarce.
Materials And Methods: A consecutive case series was performed, including 178 DPRs from patients aged 6 to 12 years.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to assess the presence and amount of external apical root resorption (EARR) in endodontically treated teeth (ETT) and contralateral teeth with vital pulp (VPT) following orthodontic treatment.
Methods: The study sample included panoramic radiographs of 503 patients (314 females and 189 males; 16.29 years±3.

With the digitization of radiographs, vast amounts of data have become accessible, enabling the curation and development of extensive datasets. Among radiographic modalities, Orthopantomograms (OPGs) are widely utilized in clinical practice. The integration of automated diagnostic processes into routine clinical practice holds great potential as an adjunct for dentists.
