The author studied the magnification ratio of teeth length in orthopantomogram through intraoral film taken by standardized paral1eing technique. In this study, intraoral radiograph and orthopantomogram were taken in 2 cases of dry skull and 36 adults (504 teeth). 1. The obtained results were as follows: In case of dry skull, the magnification ratio of standard films was 4.6% to 5.9% and that of Orthopantomograph 5 was 15.1% to 33.1%. The magnification ratio of to the standard film was 9.2% to 26.5% 2. In case of adults, the magnification ratio of Orthopantomograph 5 to the standard films was 9.5% to 24.6%. 3. There were no significant difference in magnification between left and right. 4. Anterior teeth had lesser magnification than posterior teeth. 5. It was considered that teeth length showed in Orthopontomograph 5 was magnified 15.4% to 31.3% than actual teeth length.

The purpose of this study is to obtain the enshortening and elongation rate of image in orthopantomograph. The subjects were consisted of 15 dry skulls attached with radiopaque materials on each anatomical points. The length measurements were performed between two points on dry skull, and between two points on film. The results are as follows: 1. The enshortening and elongation rate between two anatomical points (1) ANS↔infraorbital foramen (left:+1.3%, right:+0.7%) (2) ANS↔maxillary tuberosity(left:-11.7%, right:-14.3%) (3) Zygomatic arch length(left:-4.8%, right:-8.9%) (4) first molar↔infraorbital foramen (left:+19.8%, right:+24%) (5) inter-infraorbital foramen length(-21.4%) (6) inter-first molar length (-31.8%) (7) inter-mental foramen length(+1.4%) (8) mental foramen↔mandible angle (left:+3.3%, right:+3.3%) (9) mental foramen↔lingula(left:+8.2%, right:+3.3%) (10) mental foramen↔condyle head(left:+5.2%, right:+4.5%) (11) mandible↔condyle head (left:+15.4%, right:+16.4%) 2. The closer the object is to the occlusal plane and the median line, the smaller it appears.

The study was performed in order to avoid misunderstanding of the image production in the orthopantomograph and auther tried artificially, the object was not placed on the image layer children who was in mixed dentition was taken with 3 sheets of the film at one time. The results were obtained as following; 1. If the object was placed in front of the image layer and back of it, width of the anterior teeth was narrowed and widened. 2. If the object's midline was not placed on the median line of the equipment, the one side was narrowed and the another side was widened. 3. If the head was inclined upward and downward, the former was shown V shape and the latter was shown inverted V shape outline of the arches. 4. In mixed dentition, auther obtained in each other that the image layer was placed on the deciduous arch, on the permanent arch, in the middle of the deciduous teeth and permanent teeth at one exposure.

A study was made primarily to investigate vertical and horizontal distortion of the image at the apical region of the dental roots in orthopantomographs. The subjects consisted of two dry skulls with radiopaque materials attached to root surface. Measuring of the width and length of each predetermined point at 23 teeth was performed in dry skulls and radiographic films. The results obtained were as follows; 1. There was overall magnification of image in the vertical dimension. And anterior portion had greater magnification rate than posterior portion, while lower anterior portion had less magnification rate than upper anterior portion. 2. There was reduction of the image in the horizontal dimension of the teeth, because of the position relation between dry skull and image layer of the orthopantomograph. 3. There was a significant difference in distortion rate between the oposite teeth. 4. Cervical portion of the tooth had more decreased rate of horizontal distortion than apical portion.

The author had measured the alveolar bone level of periodontal disease on 50 cases of orthopantomogram to detect the degree of alveolar bone resorption of both sexes of Korean. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Alveolar bone resorption of mesial and distal portion was similiar in same patient. 2. The order of alveolar bone resorption was mandibular anterior region, posterior region, canine and premolar region of both jaws. 3. The degree of alveolar bone destruction was severe in shorter root length than longer. 4. The degree of alveolar bone resorption was severe in forth decades.

Plaster models were constructed and orthopantomographs were taken for 86 male and 70 female primary school pupils, whose upper and lower permanent 4 incisors and 1st molars were completely erupted without crowding; whose deciduous canines and molars were found almost uniformly even without any visible tooth fractures, dental caries or restorations on proximal surfaces of the teeth. Certain reference points on the orthophantomograph were set up and measured and the values were compared with actual or predicted values from the models. The following results were obtained: 1. In regards to available space, the values from the orthopantomograph were greater than the values from the models by a mean of 3.24% on the upper and 10.06% on the lower for males; 3.05% on the upper and 10.01% on the lower for females. 2. In regards to total mesiodistal widths of permanent canine, 1st and 2nd premolars, the values from the orthopantomograph were greater than the presumed values based on the size of lower permanent 4 incisors from the models by a mean of 18.50% on the upper and 24.09% on the lower for males; 14.54 on the upper and 20.51% on the lower for females. 3. Comparing the magnified values of total mesiodistal widths of permanent canine, 1st and 2nd premolars with those of available space, the regression constants of regression equation (Y = a + bX) between them were a=3.2336, b=0.6533 on the upper and a=5.0138, b=0.3290 on the lower for males; a=2.5994, b=0.6521 on the upper and a=3.0113, b=0.6586 on the lower for females. 4. The correlation coefficients between the magnified values of available space and permanent canine, 1st and 2nd premolars were moderately positive as 0.6474 in the upper and 0.505 on the lower for males; 0.6493 on the upper and 0.6183 on the lower for females. 5. In regards to magnified values of the available space from the orthopantomographs there were no significant difference between sexes, (P>0.05) but of the total mesiodistal widths of permanent canine, 1st and 2nd premolars, a significant difference between sexes was found.(p<0.01).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utilization of the orthopantomograph as a diagnostic aid to observe maxillary sinus and adjacent structures. For achieving this goal. the lead plates were attached to the five walls of the maxillary sinus of a human dry skull. The dry skull was placed in fourteen different positions; standard. 20mm forward. 20mm backward. 10 degree upward. 10 degree downward. 20mm lateral. forward & upward, forward & downward. forward & lateral. backward & upward. backward & downward, backward & lateral. upward & lateral. downward & lateral position. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The image of the medial wall was observed very differently according to the head positions. 2. The image of the anterior wall was observed at medial third to half of the maxillary sinus in each head position. 3. the image of the posterior wall was always observed at lateral third of the maxillary sinus in all head positions and more obviously in the downward-lateral position. 4. The image of the superior wall was observed at the inferior third to half of the orbit in each head position. 5. The image of the inferior wall was always observed at the inferior third of maxillary sinus in all head positions and observed more obviously in the standard and downward-lateral positions. 6. The images of the zygomatic process. zygomatic arch and zygomaticotemporal suture were observed very well in the downward-lateral position.
