The P-values for the estimated differences in the observations obtained by DPR and CBCT, by three examiners

aMcNemar test (statistically significant at the level P ≤ 0.05);

bMcNemar-Bowker test (statistically significant at the level P ≤ 0.05).

DPR = digital periapical radiography; CBCT = cone-beam computed tomography.
