[Oradlist] Diagnostic accuracy of dentist interps of pan

[Benn, Douglas K.]

I am looking for some papers reporting on the diagnostic accuracy of
general dentists in interpreting panoramic images. By accuracy I mean
the ability to correctly recognize technique errors, normal anatomy
(soft and hard tissues) and pathological conditions beyond caries,
periodontal bone loss, and apical bone loss due to non-vital pulps. So
far I have not found anything. Does anybody know of any work?

 

Thanks.

 

Douglas
