Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy and reproducibility of the direct digital and conventional digitized radiographic techniques in the delimitation of simulated periapical lesions. In 10 bovine mandibles, 20 periapical lesions were created with the use of diamond-coated cutters of different sizes. These lesions were radiographs with the digital radiographic technique (DR) and conventional digitized radiographic technique (CDR). Two calibrated and experienced examiners delimitated the margins of the lesions in radiographs twice, with an interval of 1 week between evaluations. The intra- and inter-examiner reproducibility was calculated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The accuracy of the technique was evaluated by means of the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures. The Intra-examiner correlation ranged from 0.79 to 0.82 for DR and from 0.76 to 0.81 for CDR. The inter-examiner correlation for DR was 0.76 and 0.81 for CDR. Digital radiography was shown to be more precise in delimitation of the area than conventional digitized radiography. The direct digital radiographic technique was more precise than the conventional digitized type in the delimitation of simulated periapical lesions.
