Panoramic and conventional radiographs in diagnosis of mandibular fractures

Creators

Description

Panoramic radiographs of the mandibles are compared with conventional studies for the diagnosis of mandibular fractures. It is considered that panoramic radiographs are extremely useful in the diagnostic of mandibular fractures but also that conventional X ray must be used to detect the osseous shift in the fracture line. (M.A.C.)
