Assessment of Treatment Quality Risk Factors Influencing the Radiographic Detection of Apical Periodontitis in Root-Filled Teeth: A Retrospective CBCT Analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the treatment quality factors associated with the risk of radiographic detection of apical periodontitis (AP) in root-filled teeth (RFT) on CBCT images.

Methods: Two hundred eighty-five CBCT scans of patients (range 18-60, mean 35.1) years old were selected from a pool of CBCT scans which were taken from 2016-2022.
