The prevalence of asymptomatic oral lesions examined using rotational panoramic radiography (Panex-E) was studied. The subjects were 127 women and 473 men, students at Kanagawa Dental College in Yokosuka, Japan, with ages averaging 23.0 for women and 24.5 for men. The results revealed that the oral status of these subjects was very poor. Radiographic abnormalities were found in approximately 65 % of them. In particular, the prevalence of periapical radiolucency and stump tooth was about 4 times as high as reported in the United States. However, the potential incidence of true occult lesions which could not be detected by oral examinations was considered very low.
