Digital Orthopantomography vs Cone Beam Computed Tomography-Part 2: A CBCT Analysis of Factors Influencing the Prevalence of Periapical Lesions.

Aim: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the most refined and affordable method available today for the examination of an incoming patient for different dental pathologies. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the significance of some factors influencing the prevalence of apical periodontitis.

Materials And Methods: An ortopantomography (OPT) and CBCT scan of the dental arches were examined for each of the selected 45 patients.

Digital Orthopantomography vs Cone Beam Computed Tomography-Part 1: Detection of Periapical Lesions.

Aim: Digital orthopantomography (OPT) is usually the first examination step in supervising an incoming patient. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the most refined and affordable method to search for different dental lesions. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of OPT and CBCT in detecting periapical lesions in different dental groups.
