Accuracy of Panoramic Radiography for Detection of Periapical Endodontic Lesions

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of panoramic radiography for detection of periapical endodontic lesions.50 panoramic radiographs with endodontic treated teeth with periapical lesions were examined. They were processed by a computer program Adobe Photoshop CS5. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between mean values of the index K, measured in the angle of the mandible and the endolesion.
