Investigation of the effectiveness of CBCT and gray scale values in the differential diagnosis of apical cysts and granulomas

ConclusionThe presence of a well-defined cortical border or partial cortical border is a distinctive criterion for cysts. Additionally, the shape of the lesion was found to be a significant criterion for the separation of the two lesions. The shape of cystic lesions was circular and apical granulomas had a more curved shape. There was no relationship between the histopathological diagnosis of lesions and CBCT gray scale values.
