Abstract There are innumerable indications and applications for the panoramic radiographic examination of maxillomandibular structure and teeth. This procedure can be used in diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment, and follow-up service. In the medical center, the dentist should make it known that panoramic equipment is available if it is not located within the general radiologic facility. The otolaryngologist, the plastic surgeon, and the head and neck surgeon, especially, will have occasion to use this radiographic technique to advantage and should be aware of its possible applications.
