What is Assessment of Mesiodistal Tooth Angulation on the Panoramic Radiograph about?

Tilting of the head has been suggested as a potential source of error when the clinician assesses the angulation of teeth in the panoramic radiograph. If a reference line that could be stable in variations of head positioning during the radiographic exposure could be found, then the examination of the radiograph would be more accurate. We examined the effects of three different head positions on the panoramic image in ten volunteer patients. Our findings suggest that the upper and lower margins of the film are useful reference lines in estimating the mesiodistal angulation of six anteriors, and the mandibular plane is more useful in assessing the angulations of posterior teeth and canines.
