Comparison of mandibular index values determined from standard panoramic versus CBCT reconstructed images

ConclusionsBecause of the overlapping of buccal and lingual cortices, panoramic images are especially inadequate for determining the C3 category of MCI. However, CS images obtained from available CBCT data provide better visibility than panoramic images and can, therefore, be used for evaluating mandibular indices.
