Cone beam computed tomography aided diagnosis and treatment of endodontic cases: Critical analysis

Figure 4 Radiological assessment of right mandibular 2^nd molar tooth. A: On periapical radiography, presence of caries and a periapical lesion was detected in a fused right mandibular 2^nd molar tooth; B: The contrary left mandibular second molar was normal in shape on panoramic radiography; Panoramic CBCT (C) and axial CBCT (D) images showed that mandibular 2^nd and 3^rd molars were fused; E: The tooth was re-evaluated six months later with periapical radiography. The same periapical and CBCT units and settings with Case 1, 2, and 3 were used. CBCT: Cone beam computed tomography.
