Evaluation of the apical extension of root canal obturations (RCOs) by CBCT images.

b

Detection of voids of RCOs by CBCT images.

Both interobserver and intraobserver agreements of PR (t = 7.082, p < 0.005; t = 5.449, p < 0.05; respectively), as well as CBCTa (t = 5.851, p < 0.005; t = 4.126, p < 0.05; respectively), were higher than those of CBCTb, while no significant differences were observed when comparing the two agreements between PR and CBCTa (p > 0.05).
