Abstract: As one of the targets of orthodontic treatment, orthodontists need to pay close attention to the tooth mesiodistal angulation which refers to the angulation between the long axis of the tooth and the vertical line of the occlusal plane before or after treatment. Nowadays, major clinical methods of measuring mesiodistal angulation include panoramic radiography and conebeam computed tomography (CBCT), which have different characteristics. This article is to review the progress of these two methods of evaluating tooth mesiodistal angulation and their accuracy.

Key words: tooth mesiodistal angulation, panoramic radiography, cone-beam computed tomography
