Comparison between panoramic and periapical radiography in the diagnosis of periapical bone lesions

M. Rohlin, B. Kullendorff, M. Ahlqwist, C. O. Henrikson, L. Hollender and B. Stenstrom

The diagnostic accuracy of panoramic and periapical radiography was compared by five oral radiologists who assessed the periapical status of 117 teeth evenly distributed throughout the jaws with a 50% probability that either an osteolytic or sclerotic lesion was present. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated no overall significant difference between panoramic and periapical radiography. However, for sclerotic lesions and for all lesions on maxillary premolars and mandibular molars periapical radiography was significantly superior (P less than 0.001); it was also superior for osteolytic lesions in the maxilla as well as for the lesions on mandibular premolars but with a smaller significant difference (P less than 0.05).
