The patients' oral health was assessed using panoramic radiographs, which also produced an oral index that comprised a review of diseases such tooth loss, caries, periodontitis, periapical lesions, and pericoronitis. Results:A total of 1000 individuals with excellent panoramic radiographs were included in the study.There were 600 women and 460 men in terms of gender. The patients' ages ranged from 18 to 86 years old, with a mean of ±13.8 SD years.The study intended to examine the connection between oral health and systemic illnesses in an individual.In this study, oral health was assessed using a modified version of the oral health.
