The orthopantomogram (OPG) is a common dental screening radiograph that has multiple implications. However, lateral cephalogram is the investigation of choice for the assessment of vertical facial pattern. Objective: The aim of the current study was to investigate the validity of an OPG parameter i.e. panoramic gonial angle (PGoA) for the assessment of the vertical facial pattern. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the pretreatment OPG and lateral cephalograms of 200 orthodontic patients aged 15-40 years. The PGoA was measured on both sides and an average was used for statistical analysis. The Pearson’s correlations of PGoA were measured with …

Objective: The development, eruption, and proximity of mandibular third molars with the inferior alveolar canal are highly variable. The classification of mandibular third molars and their relationship with the inferior alveolar canal were discussed. Methods: A total of 1,024 orthopantomograms (OPGs) from 422 male patients and 602 female patients were examined. The position of the mandibular third molars and their proximity to the inferior alveolar canal were evaluated. Results: Mandibular third molars were observed in 652 (63.67%) of the 1,024 OPGs. According to the Winter’s classification, the most common position of third molars was the vertical position …
