ABSTRACT
Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to diagnose periodontal disease. Methods: Article search was done through NCBI‘s PubMed database and Scopus for articles published in 2019–2024 to identify studies of CBCT to enhance the diagnostic and treatment of periodontal disease. Two examiners performed the eligibility and quality assessment of relevant studies and consensus was reached in cases where disagreement occurred. Result: The average diagnostic accuracy in the literature showed a low or moderate risk of bias. In comparison to other modalities, CBCT is accurate in detecting periodontal abnormalities and clinical symptoms. On patient outcomes studies, CBCT is a trustworthy method periodontal diagnostic evaluation. Conclusion: The result of high-resolution images can provide an excellent three-dimensional image for viewing bone destruction and periodontal problems. When there is furcation involvement, infra-bony deformities, or bone loss, CBCT has been proven to be accurate and helpful.
