Prevalence of Lateral Radiolucency, Apical Root Resorption and Periapical Lesions in Portuguese Patients: A CBCT Cross-Sectional Study with a Worldwide Overview

Abstract

The prevalence of lateral radiolucency and apical root resorption were low in all districts. Root canal filled teeth were associated with higher periapical lesions proportions than non-treated teeth. Independently of the assessed district, the periapical status may be influenced by both quality of the endodontic treatment and coronal restoration.
