| Sumario: | Objective: To describe the prevalence of periapical lesions evaluated with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Observation through Planmeca's Romexis® viewer version 6 for Windows was used as a technique and a checklist was used as an instrument. 100 CBCT with periapical lesions were visualized detailing the variables hyperdense or hypodense, size and location. Results: It was indicated that 95% of the images found were hypodense and only 5% were hyperdense. In relation to the size of the lesions, the most prevalent were lesions in the range of 0 to 1.5 cm in diameter, followed by lesions of 1.6 to 3 cm in diameter. Larger lesions, exceeding 3.1cm, were only present in 2% of the CT scans. Among the areas most affected by periapical lesions were the upper maxillary area and the mandibular area. Conclusions: The hypodense lesions had a high prevalence, a high prevalence of the presence of bone cortex was noted in said lesions, the most prevalent lesions were lesions in the range of 0 to 1.5 cm in diameter. Among the areas most affected by periapical lesions, were the premolar area of the maxilla and the premolar and molar areas of the mandible |
