Abstract
Abstract : A study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of panoramic radiography for prediction of dental emergencies. Five thousand panographs were reviewed, and 732 potential dental emergency situations (PDES) were identified. Over a 6-month period, 248 of the recruits identified as PDES actually reported for dental sick call. This constituted 19 percent of the total sick call. It is believed that by proper interpretation of panographs and by making provisions for interceptive dental care, at least 19 percent of the total sick call could be eliminated. (Author)
