Abstract

Background and Objective: Dental anomalies could be congenital, developmental or acquired which include different variations in number, size, growth pattern and morphology of normal teeth. In order to distinguish these disorders, in addition to clinical observations, para-clinical investigations like radiography are necessary. Panoramic radiography allows easy viewing anomalies, Pathology and maxillofacial lesions can lead to detection of incidental findings in patients who have been admitted for initial examination. Evaluation of incidental findings of dental anomalies and pathology of pediatric patients in panoramic pattern was the purpose of this study.
Subjects and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we used panoramic radiographs from 150 pediatric patients who were referred to Radiology department at Dental School of Ahvaz Jundishapur in 2013. In order to reduce misinterpretation of radiographic pictures, two independent observers reported the results separately. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test.
Results: There was no significant relationship between type of anomaly and sex. However, there was a significant relationship between the type of anomaly and involved jaw (please provide data on the types of anomalities in relation to jaw invoved) (RESULTS ARE: DATA). 
Conclusion: Panoramic iadiography is a valuable radiography for detecting many of teeth anomaly in initial examination especially in pediatric patients. Also state the predominant abnormalities observed in each jaw
