Study compares accuracy of cone beam computed tomography with periapical radiography methods, suggesting superior performance for fracture detection.

CBCT demonstrated higher sensitivity and accuracy compared to standard radiographic methods, improving detection of fractures.
In the study, ROC curve values for CBCT were significantly greater than for mesially shifted periapical radiography.
The imaging evaluation involved four postgraduate dental students assessing fractures with a five-point scale.
Inter- and intraobserver agreements for fracture detection ranged from moderate to substantial, indicating good reliability.

Rodrigues et al. (2025) studied this question.
