[Clinical radiological evaluation of teeth-part 1 : Anatomy and anomalies].

Radiological assessment of the teeth and periodontium is often left to the dentist. Nevertheless, it is useful to know the anatomy and possible anomalies of the teeth in order to correctly assess pathological processes in both projection radiographic and slice imaging. Dental radiological examinations, such as panoramic slice imaging (PSA) and dental film are used for targeted diagnostics. In the case of incidental findings, a dental presentation should be made for further clarification. This article first provides an overview of the anatomy and anomalies of teeth.
