Objective: To analyze the presence and frequency of dental anomalies and cystic lesions using panoramic radiographs in patients treated at the dental clinic of the Visión de las Américas University Institution, Medellín campus, between 2016 and 2022. Methods: A descriptive, quantitative, observational, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 433 panoramic radiographs of patients who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. Two calibrated evaluators performed the review under standardized conditions, with high intraobserver agreement. Results: The sample included 252 women (58%) and 181 men (42%), with a mean age of 36 years. Dental anomalies were found in 382 radiographs (88.22%) and cystic lesions in 123 (28.41%). The most frequent alterations were shape, number, and eruption of teeth, with root dilaceration and impacted teeth being particularly notable. Conclusion: Panoramic radiographs are an effective tool for the early detection of dental anomalies and cystic lesions, essential for preventing alterations in maxillofacial development and function.
