ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:
In dentistry, panoramic radiography is an important examination technique. The Faculty of Dentistry at Tokushima University educates students about panoramic radiographic anatomical landmarks. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in the understanding of each panoramic anatomical landmark among students. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
This study analyzed the results of 40 fifth- and 79 sixth-year faculty students who had taken a written examination to clarify their knowledge of anatomical landmarks in 28 panoramic radiographic regions. Anatomical landmarks were classified into 3 categories <bone structure>,RESULTS:
The mean overall correct answer rate by the 119 students for the 28 regions was 53%. The rate did not vary between the 2 academic years. On comparison of the 3 categories, significant differences were only observed betweenâ¯<bone structure> andCONCLUSION:
These results indicate the necessity of improving educational approaches for regions with lower rates of correct answers.
