The use of radiology and CBCT in dentistry
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine the preferences in imagistic techniques and to evaluate the frequency for CBCT among dentists. CBCT represents a major change in dental radiology giving three dimensional images with 10 times less radiation dose than conventional CT scanners do. Materials and methods: An anonymous survey consisting of 13 questions was distributed among 110 dentists with different dental specialties and from various cities of Romania. Results: The imagistic methods preferred by the respondents were panoramic radiography (93,6%) and periapical radiography (95,5%). A total of 60,9% of respondents use also CBCT. Among the respondents, 21,8% never recommended CBCT because the interpretation of CBCT images is difficult ( 36,7%) or the patients refuse the investigation (36,7%). Some of them are satisfied with the information obtained by a two dimensional image (26,7%) or they don’t think it’s useful (10%). Conclusions: Digital radiology gives real information about the complexity of the clinical case and sometimes emphasizes the need for further investigations, like CBCT, an efficient technique in determining the diagnostic and treatment plan.
