- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is expected to find efficacy in the indication of CBCT for the assessment of furcation types, when compared to the trans-surgical evaluation used as the gold standard.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is also expected to establish the most cost-effective voxel size for evaluation of furcation lesions in maxillary molars.;Finally, it is hoped that the results found will assist periodontists and radiologists in the indications of the exams, as well as in the diagnosis, planning and treatment of upper molar furcation lesions. These data may also contribute to the literature in future research.
