(2) Methods: Fourteen dentists (&lt;2 years of clinical experience = 11; &gt;2 years of clinical experience = 3) participated in this diagnostic reliability study in which included a theoretical and practical educational training prior to data collection. The image set of periapical radiographs (N = 150) was examined in two evaluation rounds by all the dentists. Cohen\u2019s Kappa (CK) and a binary logistic regression model were computed. (3) Results: The inter- and intra-examiner reliability were found to be in almost perfect agreement: direct fillings (1st round 0.859\/2nd round 0.844\/intra 0.910), indirect crown restorations (0.932\/0.926\/0.955), root canal fillings (0.920\/0.886\/0.941) and dental implants (0.994\/0.988\/0.987). The binary logistic regression model revealed that the \u201cevaluation round\u201d and \u201cdentist\u2019s clinical experience\u201d had no significant influence, but for the \u201cdiagnostic category\u201d; small, but statistically significant differences were documented. (4) Conclusions: The reliability for detecting direct and indirect restorations, root canal fillings or implants on periapical radiographs was found to be high in the present reliability study on periapical radiographs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20032619","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]],"date-time":"2023-02-01T02:29:03Z","timestamp":1675218543000},"page":"2619","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Dentist\u2019s Ability to Detect Different Restorative Procedures on Periapical Radiographs\u2014Results from a Reliability Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Annika","family":"W\u00fclk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital, LMU, 80336 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theresa","family":"Meusburger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital, LMU, 80336 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helena","family":"Dujic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital, LMU, 80336 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Reinhard","family":"Hickel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital, LMU, 80336 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Kessler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital, LMU, 80336 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katrin","family":"Heck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital, LMU, 80336 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4063-2291","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"K\u00fchnisch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital, LMU, 80336 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1947","DOI":"10.1007\/s00784-021-04173-3","article-title":"Standard Reporting of Caries Detection and Diagnostic Studies (STARCARDDS)","volume":"26","author":"Neuhaus","year":"2022","journal-title":"Clin.
