Cone beam CT for dental and maxillofacial radiology

Evidence-based guidelines

Metaúdaje publikácie

Radiology is essential to dentists for determining the presence and extent of disease in patients for whom a thorough patient history and examination has been performed. It also has roles in treatment planning, monitoring disease progression and in assessing treatment efficacy. However, an integral part of radiology is exposure of patients and, potentially, clinical staff to X-rays. No exposure to X-rays can be considered completely free of risk, so the use of radiation by dentists is accompanied by a responsibility to ensure appropriate protection. Unlike most medical imaging, dentists use radiology to a relatively greater extent on children and young adults, so the need for judicious use is paramount. The advent of CBCT has been an enormous advance in dental imaging. It is a type of imaging technology that is entirely new to dentists. All stakeholders have a responsibility to deliver this technology to patients in a responsible way, so that diagnostic value is maximised and radiation doses kept as low as reasonably achievable. The aim of the work was to develop comprehensive, evidence-based guidelines on use of CBCT in dentistry, including referral criteria, quality assurance guidelines and optimisation strategies. As well as providing recommendations on the use of dental CBCT in clinical practice, the intention was that the guidelines would be used to identify gaps in research. An overarching research strategy would be developed to encourage the development of subsequent research projects which will be formative in the update of future evidence-based guidelines for the use of dental CBCT.
