Cone beam computed tomography vs. Periapical Radiograph: Diagnostic accuracy in endo and periodontal lesions

PR plus CBCT enhances diagnostic accuracy in identifying lesions across both specialties—endodontics and periodontics.
Key metrics reveal that utilizing CBCT in combination with periapical radiographs leads to better lesion detection in complex cases.
Observational analysis highlights the effectiveness of advanced imaging techniques in improving accuracy for dental diagnoses.
This finding supports the integration of cone beam computed tomography in routine dental diagnostic practices for enhanced outcomes.

PR+CBCT significantly improves diagnostic accuracy for both endodontists and periodontists in cases involving both pulp and periodontal tissues.
