Abstract

The auther has evaluated the panoramic image of the mandibular condyle according to its horizontal codylar angle(0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°) and intercondylar distance( 9.5, 11.0, 12.5, 14.0㎝). The Results were as follows: 1. In all horizontal condylar angle, the farther the intercondylar distance was, the smaller the horizontal length in radiogram was. 2. The increased the horizontal condylar angle was, the longer in horizontal direction and the shorter in vertical direction the image of superior condylar surface was. 3. In case of large horizontal condylar angle, the real mesial surface of condyle was projected to the posterior surface on radiograph.
