Does anthropomorphic model design in ex vivo studies affect diagnostic accuracy for dental root fracture using CBCT?

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the differences in X-ray attenuation between the five model designs, the results suggest that the anthropomorphic model does not affect the results of diagnostic accuracy studies on root fractureusing this CBCT machine at standard clinical exposures. This provides some confidence in the previously published evidence. The inter observer diagnosis differences indicate that research using only two observers could provide misleading results.
