Reconstructed panoramic radiograph; the right mandible exhibits two foramina.
Cross-sections through selected areas of the mandible. Localised areas of increased density noted within the mandible appear to be radiographically consistent with small residual root/bone fragments. Appropriate clinical awareness is suggested to confirm this.
