(1) Background: This in vitro reliability study aimed to determine the inter- and intra-examiner reliability for the detection of direct fillings, indirect crown restorations, root canal fillings and implants on periapical radiographs. (2) Methods: Fourteen dentists ( 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's 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 "evaluation round" and "dentist's clinical experience" had no significant influence, but for the "diagnostic category"; 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
