Radiology field is very important in today's world, especially in the field of medicine including dentistry. Radiology equipment that is popular in dentistry is the panoramic machine. A panoramic image facilitate the dentist in making a diagnosis of the abnormality in the mouth and teeth. But unfortunately, for developing countries like Indonesia, panoramic machine available are low resolution which have an effect on the resulting image also has low quality. This research aims to improve the quality of the panoramic image to have a better quality. We use point processing method with emphasis on contrast stretching method. We chose this method because it is quite simple but has a high performance. Based on the second opinion from the hospital, the performance is 83.9%, therefore this method is promising to be implemented on the improvement of dental radiology images.

Abstract Aim To compare digital panoramic images acquired for the presurgical assessment of third molars captured with a storage phosphorbased system with conventional film panoramic radiographs. Methods and Materials A total of 51 pairs of digital and conventional panoramic images, made simultaneously, were included in this study. The images were evaluated for diagnostic quality prior to third molar surgery by two experienced oral surgeons and rated with a four-point grading scale. Results Despite the fact that conventional panoramic images were rated higher than the digital images, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions Conventional and digital panoramic images were found to be of comparable image quality with regard to their diagnostic contribution to third molar surgery. Clinical Significance This study is contributory to understanding differences in image quality between digital and conventional panoramic radiography for certain diagnostic tasks. The lack of significant differences in image quality may be an endorsement for digital panoramic radiography. Citation Parissis N, Angelopoulos C, Mantegari S, Karamanis S, Masood F, Tsirlis A.
