Abstract
Results: The pretreatment value determined using FD was 1.4054, whereas the value obtained from radiographs taken 1 year after RCT was 1.3660. The micro structure of trabecular bone adjacent to the periapical lesion was analyzed with FD method by using panoramic radiographs taken and after RCT and the results were found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: It can be stated that FD analysis is a useful method in monitoring the periapical healing and further studies using 3D imaging would be more beneficial.
