AIM:- To assess the visibility of mandibular anatomical landmarks in orthopantomograms. OBJECTIVE:-To determine the frequency, visibility and gender variations of Mandibular anatomical structures such as mental foramen,incisive canal, anterior loop of mental nerve, and mandibular canal in different age groups using Orthopantamograms. BACKGROUND:- Panoramic radiography has become a commonly used imaging modality in dental practice and it can be considered as one of the important diagnostic tool in dentistry.Orthopantamograms are used for producing a single tomographic image of facial structures, which includes the maxillary and mandibular arches and their supporting structures. For a Successful interpretation of panoramic radiographs understanding of the normal anatomy of the head and neck is very essential. OPG has been recommended as the primary radiographic investigation of choice in the pre-operative assessment of the mandibular teeth and their surrounding structures. REASON:- Orthopantamograms provides a better information of anatomical landmarks of both maxilla and mandible.OPGs were checked for the appearance of anatomical structures in the mandibular region for implant planning and also in various other surgical procedures. Hence it is important to know about the variations in the visibility of anatomical structures in radiographs since it serves as valuable tool for treatment planning.
