Abstract:
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the reliability and accuracy of central incisor root angulation measurements performed by two different methods: CBCT and lateral skull teleradiography.
Materials and methods: The inclination angle in the vestibule-lingual direction of the upper and lower central incisor of 40 patients was measured by lateral skull teleradiography and CBCT and used excel 2016.
Results: The angulation of anterior tooth roots presented a statistically significant difference in the measurements performed in the lateral skull teleradiography and CBCT (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Measurements of the vestibulelingual inclination of the upper and lower central incisors performed on CBCT showed greater efficacy and reliability compared to measurements taken on TeleRx.
