Two-dimensional imaging must be considered the first-level examination for the diagnosis of AP lesions. PR had an overall slightly higher diagnostic accuracy than PAN. Evidence from this review provided a useful tool to support radiologists and dentists in their decision-making when inflammatory periapical bone lesions are suspected to achieve the best clinical outcome for patients, improving the quality of clinical practice.
