Between 1977 and 1987, there was a shift in the radiographic prescribing practices for the dentulous adult comprehensive care patient in U.S. and Canadian dental schools. The number of schools ordering films on the basis of selection criteria or patient need increased from 1 to 13, while the number of schools ordering both an intraoral full-mouth series and a panoramic radiograph decreased from 30 to 13. However, in 1987, there were still 56 schools that expressed a preference for a particular standard examination. In the current study, the panoramic radiograph (with and without supplemental periapical views) was the most frequently stated preferred examination for the edentulous adult patient, and the panoramic and bitewing examination was the most frequently stated preferred examination for the child patient.
1977年至1987年间，美国和加拿大牙科学院针对有牙列的成年综合护理患者的X光片开具处方的做法发生了变化。根据选择标准或患者需求订购X光片的学校数量从1所增加到了13所，而同时订购口腔内全口系列X光片和全景X光片的学校数量则从30所减少到了13所。然而，在1987年，仍有56所学校表示倾向于某种特定的标准检查。在当前的研究中，全景X光片（有或没有补充根尖片）是无牙列成年患者最常提及的首选检查，而全景和咬合翼片检查则是儿童患者最常提及的首选检查。
