Overview

Systematic review compares diagnostic accuracy of CBCT and 2D radiography for dental pathologies, suggesting improved precision with CBCT.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT compared to 2D radiography for various dental pathologies.
  • Systematic review and meta-analysis adhering to PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
  • Included studies with sensitivity and specificity comparisons to histopathology or clinical references.
  • Computed pooled sensitivity and specificity risk ratios using statistical software.
  • CBCT demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy with a sensitivity risk ratio (SRR) of 1.53 (95% CI: 1.34–1.75).
  • The specificity risk ratio (SpRR) for CBCT was 1.08 (95% CI: 1.01–1.14).
  • For root fractures, CBCT showed an SRR of 1.89 (95% CI: 1.49–2.39).
