Our pourpose was to compare the radiographic diagnostics observed in bitewing and panoramic techniques in a sample of 50 adult patients' x-rays, examined by the same observer. On the panoramic it was analyzed the area corresponding bitewings, looking for coincident diagnostics. Furthermore it was evaluated the additional information supplied by panoramic technique. The proportion of coincident diagnostics in panoramic and bitewings was significantly larger suggesting no differences between bitewings and panoramic as a diagnostic resource. When analyzing the area not inclued by bitewings on the panoramic it was found 3,72 diagnostics per patient that would request treatment or follow-up.
