Abstract

Aim of the study was to evaluate mandibular indices on a panoramic radiograph. A number of mandibular cortical indices, including the mandibular cortical index (MCI), mandibular cortical width (MCW) and panoramic mandibular index (PMI), AI (Antegonial index)was evaluated on Panoramic radiograph. Correlation between the indices were also done in our study and we found that
PMI with MI and MI with AI were highly significant and showed similar results whereas MCI was non significamt with the other indices.

Keywords: Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI), Mandibular Cortical Width (MCW), Panoramic.
