Panographic Survey of U. S. Army Recruits: Analysis of Dental Health Status.

Abstract

Panoramic radiographs of 5,000 Army recruits were taken to record the incidence of pathoses in the maxillomandibular region, and to evaluate their dental health status. One hundred seventy-six recruits demonstrated no pathoses. The most frequently occurring lesions in this study group were unerupted teeth, carious teeth, defective restorations, and periodontal disease. The authors found the panographic survey to be an effective means of evaluating the dental health status of a large population. (Author)
