The effect of changes in head position on enlargement of structures during panoramic radiography.

Abstract

Accuracy of panoramic radiographs is essential for distance measurements during implant planning, but it might be compromised by various factors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of vertical and horizontal head positioning on area-dependent enlargement ratios of digital panoramic radiography.
