Defect morphology, bone thickness, exposure settings and examiner experience affect the diagnostic accuracy of standardized digital periapical radiographic images but not of cone beam computed tomography in the detection of peri-implant osseous defects: An in vitro study.

Cone beam computed tomography showed better diagnostic accuracy in the detection of peri-implant defects, this can be attributed to the fact that CBCT seems to be less affected by variables that contribute to the poorer performance of PAs.
