Validating conventional 2D IMPA against 3D one: is it still a trustworthy angle? A retrospective CBCT-based diagnostic agreement study
2D and 3D IMPA showed negligible mean bias, excellent association, and substantial diagnostic concordance. Routine cases may rely on 2D IMPA without material loss of information, whereas in torque-critical, anatomically constrained, or borderline cases the observed ±7° dispersion argues for 3D assessment.
