The 40 jaw lesions were classified into four categories: cyst, benign tumor, inflammation or malignancy, and other bone lesion. The mean score for the 10 anatomical structure questions and the mean accuracy rate for diagnosing the 40 jaw lesions were calculated. Based on their scores on the anatomical structure questions, 125 students were divided into three groups (upper, middle, and lower). The accuracy rates for diagnosing jaw lesions among these groups were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (p = 0.05).ResultsAmong all students, the mean score for normal anatomical structures was 5.99 out of 10, and the mean accuracy rate for diagnosing jaw lesions was 44.8%. In the analysis of jaw lesions, the four categories exhibited significant differences in accuracy rates: cyst (53.8%), benign tumor (47.7%), inflammation or malignancy (45.0%), and other bone lesion (32.7%). The three groups based on anatomical structure scores showed significantly different accuracy rates for diagnosing jaw lesions (p < 0.05). The upper group, with the highest anatomical structure scores, achieved an accuracy rate of 54.5%, outperforming the other groups.ConclusionsKnowledge of anatomical structures enhances the ability to diagnose jaw lesions using panoramic radiographs. These findings underscore the importance of anatomical education in dental curricula to improve diagnostic accuracy.
