Background: Investigating the pattern of extension in the periapical inflammatory lesions is important in the treatment plan and prognosis of treatment.
Introduction: This study would assess the topography of periapical inflammatory lesions in the first molars using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).
Methods: In this descriptive study, 197 CBCT images about patients in the age group of 14-77 years were analyzed. The maximum extension of the periapical lesion in the three orthogonal planes related to the regions of maxillary and mandibular first molars was measured and reported in millimeters. Measurements were compared based on age, gender‚ dental arch and root type. Statistical analysis was performed using percentages, repeated measure ANOVA, paired t-tests and Pearson correlation coefficient. The signifi.. View More»
