Evaluating miniscrew position using orthopantomograms compared to cone-beam computed tomography

摘要

Our objective was to compare the diagnostic capabilities of the orthopantomogram (OPT) as a standard dental diagnostic procedure with those of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). We examined the extent to which the OPT allowed miniscrew position to be estimated, and whether probands from different backgrounds in dental medicine arrived at the same conclusions regarding the screw position using the same radiological images (OPTs).
