TI  - The relationship of bone loss observed on panoramic radiographs with clinical 
      periodontal screening.

AB  - The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between bone levels 
      observed on dental panoramic tomographs (DPT) and the WHO/FDI recommended 
      periodontal screening technique: the community periodontal index of treatment 
      needs (CPITN). Computer enhancement and digital analysis were used to improve 
      accuracy and reliability. A total of 199 posterior sextants on DPT radiographs 
      from 50 patients (29 female and 21 male) with a mean age of 42 were examined. A 
      statistically significant relationship was found between CPITN and radiographic 
      measurement from the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar crestal bone margin 
      (A). The relationship between A and CPITN was found to fit the following 
      equation: square root of A = beta 1 + F, where, F is constant and beta 1 is the 
      coefficient corresponding to the i the codes of CPITN. It was concluded that 
      there was a close correlation between the CPITN screening codes and bone loss as 
      measured on the DPT radiograph.
