Comparison of Periodontal Evaluation by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography, and Clinical and Intraoral Radiographic Examinations

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been widely used in many fields of dentistry. However, little is known about the accuracy of CBCT for evaluation of periodontal status. The objective of this study was to compare and correlate periodontal assessments among CBCT, clinical attachment loss (CAL) measurement, and periapical (PA)/bitewing (BW) radiography.
