Sažetak
In the last issue of ASCRO the basic principles of three various kinds of equipment used in panoramic radiology were described, and it was no'ted thc^t a more detailed assessment of X-ray pictures belonged to various areas of dentistry. In the paper the authors present their own observations of orthodontic cases made on the basis of comparative examinations of standard enoral and pantomographic pictures made by panoramix equipment. From the available case material six instructive cases were selected for discussing the positive and negative sides of this technique. The authors note in conclusion: (1 ) On the basis of their own observations they consider that in assessing pantomography as a diagnostic method in specific cases, other methods of X-ray examination should also be used, and that the material obtained should be evaluated with great caution. (2) Each available technique has some shortcomings when applied to minor patients; (3) The radiological technique of this kind is not suitable in cases of orthodontic anomalies with extensive deviations in vertical or sagittal planes.
