چکیده
Recent advancements in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) have identified the importance of providing outcomes related to the appropriate use of this innovative technology in dentistry. To assist in determining whether evidence exists, the authors conducted a PubMed search in September, 2012 using the key words “cone beam in Dentistry.” This search revealed 1038 articles with 65 reviews recently published in national and international journals during last five years. The purpose of this article is to review the practical applications of CBCT in different dental disciplines, in order to update the general dental practitioners on the current status of this new imaging technology, and aid in their clinical decision-making process related to this imaging modality.

متن کاملCone-beam computed tomography: Time to move from ALARA to ALADA
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is routinely recommended for dental diagnosis and treatment planning. CBCT exposes patients to less radiation than does conventional CT. Still, lack of proper education among dentists and specialists is resulting in improper referral for CBCT. In addition, aiming to generate high-quality images, operators may increase the radiation dose, which can expose the...
