COMPARISON BETWEEN INTRAORAL AND PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHS IN THE EVALUATION OF ALVEOLAR BONE LOSS

The purpose of this study was to compare the interpretation results of the panoramic radiographs with those of intraoral radiographs in evaluation of alveolar bone loss. All radiographs were obtained from 100 patients who had visited the Dental Infirmary of Kyungpook National University Hospital for periodontal state evaluation. The results were as follows: The percentages of interpretable sites were 95.9%(94.6% in maxilla, 97.4% in mandible) on the intraoral radiographs, and 90.7%(84.0% in maxilla, 97.3% in mandible) on the panoramic radiographs. The concordance of interpretation scores of marginal bone loss between intraoral and panoramic radiographs was 66.3%(65.6% in maxilla, 66.8% in mandible). And according to the site, the highest concordance was in the distal surface of the mandibular 2nd premolar at 82.0%, and the distal surface of the mandibular 1st premolar(76.8%), the distal surface of the maxillary central incisor(75.8%), the mesial surface of the 2nd premolar (75.0%) in descending order of frequency. According to the interpretation scores of the marginal bone loss, the percentages of concordance between intraoral and panoramic radiographs were the highest on the score 10 at 76.4%, and the lowest on the score 8, 9. And the percentages of concordance were inverse proportional rate from the score 5 to the score 9. Number of the observed sites of the furcation involvement in bitewing and panoramic radiographs were 268 sites, and the percentage of interpretable sites was 92.9% in bitewing radiographs and 86.6% in panoramic radiographs. And the concordance rate of interpretation was 79.5%.
