The incidence of difficult-to-detect, subclinical lesions in the oral cavities was examined, using CR orthopantomography. The subjects for this study were 193 students at the Kumamoto University School of Medicine (174 males and 19 females). Their ages ranged from 23 to 42 years (mean : 24.9 years). Among all orthopantomograms taken of these subjects, 80.3% contained some radiographic abnormalities. However, only a very small percentage of the subjects were found to have the types of lesions which are difficult to detect during ordinary oral checks, yet require treatment. The results indicate that screening using this low X-ray dose CR system is useful in detecting subclinical lesions of the oral cavity, without exposing medically compromised patients to the risk of infection.
