OBJECTIVE To determine whether computed tomography (CT) and intraoral radiography are interchangeable for detecting signs of periodontitis and endodontic disease in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS An agreement study was performed using 40 dogs that previously underwent intraoral radiography and CT during the same anesthetic episode. Images of each tooth were examined by two blinded observers for ...

OBJECTIVES To explore the diagnostic values of digital intraoral radiography and cone beam CT (CBCT) in the determination of periodontal bone loss, infrabony craters and furcation involvements. METHODS Accuracy assessment of the imaging modalities was conducted through bone level measurements, infrabony crater and furcation involvement classifications. For CBCT, images were obtained at 120 kV...

background radiography is as a part of periodontal examination. early detection of periodontal disease is important in the prevention of tooth loss and patient’s general health. objectives the objective of this study was to compare diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) with digital direct intraoral radiography, in assessment of periodontal osseous lesions. materials and me...

Although the overwhelming majority of dental offices now use digital radiography and patient records, relatively few yet use either stand-alone intraoral scanning systems (6%) or complete systems that combine intraoral scanning with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (12%). This should change as dentists become more aware of the numerous advantages scanning systems offer in ...
