Background and Aim: Clinical and radiographic diagnoses of dental root fractures have always been difficult and require high accuracy in dental care and treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of intraoral digital radiography (PSP) and CBCT in the detection of horizontal and vertical root fractures (HRF and VRF). Materials and Methods: For this experimental stud...
