Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of surgeons’ experience and the benefit of using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, compared to the use of panoramic radiography (PAN) images, on their decisions with regard to mandibular third molar treatment modality. Panoramic radiographs and CBCTs from a total of 143 patients who had undergone impacted third molar surgery were randomly evaluated for treatment decision by 10 participants with differing clinical experience (5 novices and 5 experienced surgeons). The degree of agreement between the same type of participants was ’Substantial Agreement’ (0.61–0.80) or ’Almost Perfect’ (0.81–1.00). When the treatment modality decisions of the experienced and novice surgeons, using PAN and CBCT images, were compared, a statistically significant difference was found (p
