Accuracy of Computerized Vertical Measurements on Digital Orthopantomographs: Posterior Mandibular Region

摘要

Objectives:Orthopantomographs are commonly used for diagnosis in clinical dentistry. Although the manufacturers claim a constant magnification effect, the reliability of measuring dimensions on the panoramic radiographs is not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of measuring vertical dimensions in the posterior mandibular area on digital orthopantomographs.
