Abstract
Oral radiographic findings often provide important clues that lead to early recognition and diagnosis of systemic diseases. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the oral radiographic manifestations of various systemic diseases. Conventional radiographs (panoramic, Waters' and dental radiographs) were evaluated in 68 patients with systemic diseases to assess abnormalities retrospectively. Furthermore, high-resolution CT and 3D-CT reformations were available in 2 cases. Various oral radiographic manifestations were present in 36 patients (52.9%): 22 patients with congenital, developmental and hereditary abnormalities; 7 patients with endocrine disturbance, a patient with blood disease and 6 patients with other diseases. The oral radiographic appearance of systemic diseases is considered to provide valuable information for the diagnosis and treatment planning of systemic diseases, especially with regard to abnormalities of the teeth and jaw bones. Furthermore, by using modalities such as CT, further detailed findings can be obtained.
