Abstract | ||||
Abstract Objectives: The present study Assessed, the Intra-oral radiographs Vs CBCT to determine furcation involvement and their response to treatment. Material and methods: Twenty patients suffering from moderate to severe generalized chronic periodontitis, according to the criteria of Armitage were enrolled in this study. They were subjected to intra-oral radiographs and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography before and after Furcation involvement therapy. Results: Both intra-oral radiographs and CBCT were effective to determine furcation involvement as well as the response to preformed treatment.The difference between CBCT vertical and Clinical attachment loss(CAL), before was lower (0.19) than the difference between Intra-oral radiograph and Clinical attachment loss (1.10), establishing the validity of CBCT to assess furcation, The difference between CBCT vertical and CAL, recorded initially and after therapy was lower (0.39) than the difference between Intra-oral radiographs and CAl (0.47), Denoting the validity of CBCT in furcation assessment. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between measurements taken using CBCT and measurements taken by Clinical attachment loss. CBCT Proved to be a valuable tool in identification of furcation involvements and their responses to Performed therapy compared to that obtained wit intra-oral radiographs. keywords: chronic periodontitis, furcation involvement, CBCT, IOPA. | ||||
