title: [The routine use of the orthopantomograph as a diagnostic aid in dental practice].
abstract: An amount of 667 radiographs, taken by the Orthopantomograph (OPG) has been examined concerning their pathological statements--as there are restrained and displaced wisdom-teeth, apical granuloma, radices relictae, displaced dentes canini and premolars. The Orthopantomograph, by it's clear graph of maxilla and jaw, turns out to be a diagnostic means of high value. The high amount of pathological statements makes the routine use of the apparatus for the first examination of new patients in the dental praxis an indispensable necessity.
