Despite of the great evolution in the field of radiological technologies ,
panoramic radiography is still the most important radiological –diagnostic
method in the maxillofacial area .
Panoramic radiographs reveal a wide area of tissue in one x-ra
y.
In addition . It seems to be preferred by the maxillofacial surgeon due to its
simplicity and rapidity of application , and low dose of radiation.
In oral and maxillofacial fractures , panoramic radiography is still the best
way of having a quick and preliminary diagnosis of most of these fractures.
In our study we made a precise diagnosis of about 88.79% of our cases by
using this method .
For that we recommend to use panoramic radiography in most cases of oral
and maxillofacial injuries .
In cases that clinical diagnosis does not match the panoramic radiography
diagnosis we must look for another radiological method.
