Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a selection of disagreement and borderline cases from a methodological study on the radiographic diagnosis of periapical disease. Thirty-two roots, 12% of the material in an earlier study, were subjected to joint discussion because of diagnostic problems. The aim was consensus. Six cases representing different teeth/roots illustrating typical problems are presented. The varying morphology of apical areas and varying density of surrounding bone present a number of challenges. Even so, the joint discussion resulted in an agreement for all the cases. Twenty-five diagnoses were established and seven cases were not diagnosed owing to substandard radiographs. A detailed analysis of the periodontal ligament space, the lamina dura, trabecular pattern and bone marrow spaces is mandatory for the radiographic diagnosis of periapical disease
