Reliability of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in Diagnosis of Root Resorption Due to Impacted Maxillary Canine

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) technique considering its reliability diagnose resorption due maxillary impacted canine. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 68 CBCT images were observed by two oral and maxillofacial radiologists. The position of canine was assessed, severity root in adjacent teeth determined rounds viewing. Finally, statistical analyses performed according percentage agreement, intra-class correlation coefficient, kappa. data sheets filled out radiologists who separate weeks recorded their opinions about crown Further, four examined for resorption. Results: most cases, no lateral, central, first premolars; however, reported lateral premolar higher than that others, second premolars. Agreement on be above 90% all observations. addition, agreement 98.5%, 95.6%, 100% resorption, central incisor, premolar, respectively. Maxillary canines using CBCT, interpretation reliable. Conclusions: Utilization provides a worthy localization effects teeth, more explanation treatment these cases.
