cases where the effectiveness of CBCT in the detection of posterior perforations
was also evaluated. treatment. Of these 15 studies, 8 compared the effectiveness
of CBCT and conventional methods in detecting root perforations, 4 articles were
reports of clinical cases where CBCT was used and compared in the diagnosis
of this complication, and 3 articles were research studies on the use of CBCT in
