The detection of abnormalities in the jaws: a radiological survey.
The dental panoramic tomographs of 1000 casual patients attending the Dental Casualty Department of King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry were screened for pathology. The findings are compared with a similar survey conducted 17 years ago at the same institution. The improvement in dental health nationally over this period is not reflected in the findings of this survey.
