Objective: to determine the prevalence of radiographic findings in the panoramic radiographs of patients who attending to Universidad Santo Tomás University since 2010-2012.
Methods: We executed a retrospective descriptive observational study that evaluated a total of 766 radiographs that met the eligibility criteria, the researchers made a standardization of radiographic findings and designed a format that registered the information and data.
Results: a total of 766 radiographs were evaluated, 457 (59.7%) belonged to women, most of the findings were located in the upper jaw, and corresponded to radiolucent lesions with 284 (37.1%) cases, among dental anomalies, laceration was the most frequent 167 (21.8%); Other findings such as radicular resorption 129 (6.8%) were also evident.
Conclusions: panoramic radiography allows an overview of the jaws and shows hidden pathologies that do not become manifest clinically.
