Mean difference = (CBCT mesiodistal angle) - (standard pano mesiodistal angle)
Mean difference in degrees between CBCT/Pano tooth pairs : (-) = CBCT mean angle is lower– indicating more mesial root tip
(+) = CBCT mean angle is higher—indicating more distal root tip
Shaded: Highlights where mean difference between pano and CBCT root angles are significantly different at p< .05.
