Abstract
Background: Periapical lesions are common findings in endodontic practice, often requiring accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment planning. While conventional radiography has traditionally been used for lesion detection, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) offers enhanced visualization and threedimensional assessment of periapical pathology. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT compared to conventional radiography in detecting periapical lesions.
