THE PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPH PROVIDES INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF TEETH

PRESENT, ERUPTION PROBLEMS, ROOT FORM AND LENGTH, QUALITY OF

ALVEOLAR BONE AND OTHER PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHS ARE ALSO OFTEN TAKEN DURING TREATMENT TO EVALUATE THE PARALLELISM OF THE ROOTS AND THE PRESENCE OF ROOT RESORPTION OR

BLUNTING OF THE ROOT APICES .
