Accuracy of linear mandibular measurements on conventional and cone beam computed tomography reconstructed panoramic radiographs

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the precision of dimensional measurements in digital panoramic radiographs (PRs) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-generated panoramic images. Materials and Methods: Ten dry human mandibles were subjected to direct anthropometric measurements, digital panoramic radiography, and CBCT scans. Vertical and horizontal measurements were made between predetermined points by two observers. Paired t-test was applied for the comparative analysis. p value
