Abstract
Panoramic radiographs are often used to screen edentulous patients before complete denture fabrication However routine use of OPG Orthopantomogram of edentulous patients is being questioned because of the cumulative effects and cost of radiation exposure However the recent studies have shown that the pretreatment radiographic examination of edentulous patients is critical in the treatment planning as it has revealed significant findings which are not visible clinicallyKeywords Edentulous Orthopantomogram Impacted Teeth
