Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the decision of surgical management for bone lesions of the maxillofacial region. It is a retrospective cross-sectional observational study that includes a sample of panoramic radiography (PR) and CBCT from patients with some type of bone lesion in the maxillofacial region. PR and CBCT images were evaluated by three previously assessed examiners, specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Each image was evaluated randomly, and a surgical procedure was suggested, initially in PR and then in CBCT. The obtained results were submitted to the McNemar test to evaluate the frequencies of changes in the surgical management between the first and the second evaluation in PR and CBCT, and intra-examiner and inter-examiner agreements were analyzed by the Cohen's kappa test. The level of significance was set at 5% (p < 0.05). Intra-examiner agreement increases when CBCT is used. Inter-examiner agreement was low, independently of the evaluated exam, which shows that the choice of treatment plan is examiner-dependent and not exam-dependent. CBCT increases the certainty of the professional in the evaluation of the bone lesions of the maxillofacial region; however, it does not change the indication of the treatment type.
