Diagnostic accuracy of periapical radiograph, cone beam computed tomography, and intrasurgical measurement techniques for assessing furcation defects / Nurul Ain Mohamed Yusof

The periapical radiograph (PA), which conventionally used as an adjunct in the diagnosis of molar with furcation involvement (FI) may lead to inaccuracy in furcation analysis. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is increasingly used in the periodontology field to overcome the limitations of convent...
