Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine the diagnostic ability of different imaging techniques for apical root fractures that occur during tooth extraction by specialist dentists in different branches. Methods: Dry human mandibles used for education at Faculty of Dentistry and teeth extracted for routine treatment were used. After the root lengths were measured using a periodontal probe, the samples were adjusted to different lengths. These specimens were placed on a dry human mandible, and images were obtained and recorded using a periapical device, panoramic device, and computed tomography. Radiographs and recordings were performed by an oral and maxillofacial radiologist. The evaluation process was performed by an oral and maxillofacial radiologist, periodontologist, and oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Results: The diagnosis of 1 mm root presence and absence on periapical radiographs showed significant agreement among all observers. In the presence of 2 mm and 3 mm roots, all observers stated that the roots were present. On the panoramic radiographs, moderate agreement was observed in teeth with a 1 mm root. However, poor agreement between observers was observed for teeth with 2 mm and 3 mm roots. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was effective for the diagnosis of all observers. Conclusion: Consistent with the literature, the present study showed a higher interobserver agreement in CBCT. However, considering the patient's anxiety during the procedure, the duration of local anesthesia, and the surgeon's fatigue, two-dimensional radiographs are generally preferred over CBCT, which has a longer image processing time. Diagnosis using periapical radiographs was more effective than that using panoramic radiographs.
