RADIOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION
J.RAHUL RAGHAVENDER
CRI
• Radiographs are often obtained as part of a
complete examination.
• Appropriate radiographic interpretation is
used along with clinical information and other
tests to formulate a differential diagnosis.
Normal radiographic anatomy
• ENAMEL
Most radiopaque structure
• DENTIN
Slightly lighter than enamel
• PULP CAVITY
Radiolucent lines within the tooth
• ALVEOLAR CREST
Gingival margin of the alveolar process appear
as a radiopaque line
• PDL SPACE
Narrow radiolucent line around tooth surface
• LAMINA DURA
Radiopaque line representing tooth socket

Describing the Lesion
• 1. Size
• 2. Shape
• 3. Location
• 4. Density
• 5. Borders
• 6. Internal Architecture
• 7. Effect on adjacent structures
1. Size
• Measure the lesion with a ruler. If you must
estimate, use surrounding structures as your
guide
• Measure in two dimensions, width and height
in mm or cm, as appropriate
2. Shape
• Regular
Round
Triangular
Rhomboid, etc.
• Irregular shape
3. Location
• Is the lesion localized or generalized?
• Unilateral or bilateral
• Where is the lesion in relation to other
structures and anatomic landmarks?
• Use terms such as:
Mesial, Distal
Inferior, Superior
Posterior, Anterior
• If the epicenter of the lesion is above the
mandibular canal, the likelihood is that the
lesion is odontogenic in origin.
• Epicentre- below mandibular canal, non
odontogenic(likely)
• Cartilaginous lesions are found nearer the
condyles.
• If the epicenter of the lesion is in the sinus, it
probably is not odontogenic in origin.
4. Density
• Is the lesion Radiopaque, Radiolucent,or
Mixed Density
• Remember that opacity is relative to the
adjacent structures.
• If the lesion is of mixed density, describe the
appearance
5. Borders
• Well or poorly demarcated
• Punched out (muliple myeloma)
• Corticated (osteomyelitis)
• Sclerotic (wide, uneven opaque border)
• Hyperostotic (increased density of
trabeculation)
6. Internal architecture
• Is the lesion uniform?
• Internal structures such as septae or
loculations
• Use terms such as: soap bubble ,honey comb ,
cotton wool, ground glass, wispy, orange peel,
etc.

7. Effect on adjacent structures
Is the lesion causing:
• Displacement ( such as teeth, maxillary sinus,
inferior alveolar canal, etc.)
• Scalloping
• Root resorption
• Destruction
• Remodelling
• Expansion(any benign lesion)
• Epicentre above crown of teeth-follicular
cysts-teeth apically
• Lesion-ramus of mandible-cherubism-anterior
direction
• Widening of PDL, broken lamina dura-
periapical abscess
• Reactive bone-periphery of lesion-benign slow
growth

Radiographic interpretation of a lesion

  • 2. • Radiographs are often obtained as part of a complete examination. • Appropriate radiographic interpretation is used along with clinical information and other tests to formulate a differential diagnosis.
  • 4. • ENAMEL Most radiopaque structure • DENTIN Slightly lighter than enamel • PULP CAVITY Radiolucent lines within the tooth
  • 5. • ALVEOLAR CREST Gingival margin of the alveolar process appear as a radiopaque line • PDL SPACE Narrow radiolucent line around tooth surface • LAMINA DURA Radiopaque line representing tooth socket
  • 7. 7 Interpretation is an orderly process Normal variation Abnormal Developmental abnormalities Acquired abnormalities Cyst Benign neoplasia Vascular anomaly MetabolicInflammatory lesion Malignant neoplasia Bone dysplasia Trauma
  • 8. Describing the Lesion • 1. Size • 2. Shape • 3. Location • 4. Density • 5. Borders • 6. Internal Architecture • 7. Effect on adjacent structures
  • 9. 1. Size • Measure the lesion with a ruler. If you must estimate, use surrounding structures as your guide • Measure in two dimensions, width and height in mm or cm, as appropriate
  • 11. 3. Location • Is the lesion localized or generalized? • Unilateral or bilateral • Where is the lesion in relation to other structures and anatomic landmarks? • Use terms such as: Mesial, Distal Inferior, Superior Posterior, Anterior
  • 12. • If the epicenter of the lesion is above the mandibular canal, the likelihood is that the lesion is odontogenic in origin. • Epicentre- below mandibular canal, non odontogenic(likely) • Cartilaginous lesions are found nearer the condyles. • If the epicenter of the lesion is in the sinus, it probably is not odontogenic in origin.
  • 13. 4. Density • Is the lesion Radiopaque, Radiolucent,or Mixed Density • Remember that opacity is relative to the adjacent structures. • If the lesion is of mixed density, describe the appearance
  • 14. 5. Borders • Well or poorly demarcated • Punched out (muliple myeloma) • Corticated (osteomyelitis) • Sclerotic (wide, uneven opaque border) • Hyperostotic (increased density of trabeculation)
  • 15. 6. Internal architecture • Is the lesion uniform? • Internal structures such as septae or loculations • Use terms such as: soap bubble ,honey comb , cotton wool, ground glass, wispy, orange peel, etc.

  • 18. 7. Effect on adjacent structures Is the lesion causing: • Displacement ( such as teeth, maxillary sinus, inferior alveolar canal, etc.) • Scalloping • Root resorption • Destruction • Remodelling • Expansion(any benign lesion)

  • 20. • Epicentre above crown of teeth-follicular cysts-teeth apically • Lesion-ramus of mandible-cherubism-anterior direction • Widening of PDL, broken lamina dura- periapical abscess • Reactive bone-periphery of lesion-benign slow growth
