8.6. Analysis of the problems on the panoramic
examinations
This chapter is aimed at giving a more detailed and in depth description
of defects affecting panoramic images; basically this chapter deals with
the same type of problems described in paragraph 8.5 adding a more
detailed explanation of the cause and corrective actions to take.
The panoramic radiography is the examination of the maxillo-facial

and sinuses-orbital complex. A good panoramic examination allows
