Diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the detection of accessory mental foramina using different devices and imaging modalities

The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT for the detection of accessory mental foramina (AMFs) in dry mandibles using two different devices and three different CBCT imaging modalities. A total of 40 dry mandibles were selected to generate corresponding CBCT images, each with three different CBCT imaging modalities
