摘要

Objective

To determine the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in detecting simulated bony changes in the mandibular condyle by assessing the sensitivity and specificity.

Methods

This review adhered to PRISMA guidelines. Following predefined eligibility criteria, a search was conducted in four electronic databases in June 2024. The study-level risk of bias was assessed using a diagnostic test accuracy checklist provided by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Pooled estimates of sensitivity and specificity were calculated using a bivariate random-effects model.

Results

Among 1,803 potentially eligible references, six met the inclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis, and three for meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that the index test, CBCT, had a low pooled sensitivity of 0.54 and a high specificity of 0.93 for detecting simulated defects of the mandibular condyle. Computed tomography exhibited a lower sensitivity of 0.37, but similar specificity of 0.93 like CBCT. Out of the six studies, five were found to have a low risk of bias.

Conclusions

Cone-beam computed tomography is found to be more accurate than other modalities for detecting condylar bony changes, effectively ruling out false positives, but with a risk of missing true positives. A smaller field of view and voxel size may provide more accurate detection.
