title: The detection of abnormalities in the jaws: a radiological survey.
abstract: 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.
