A weighted scoring system (Dental Panoramic Radiograph Score) taking into consideration the nature, extent, and site of osseous and dental changes on dental panoramic radiographs in familial adenomatous polyposis is described. The weighting takes into consideration the incidence of the anomaly in th...
