Dose reduction of dental cone-beam computed tomography for evaluation of teeth and periodontal tissues in adults using a dry skull phantom

Puntos clave

Assess the minimum radiation dose and conditions for effective visualization of teeth and periodontal tissues in a dry skull.
Evaluated radiation doses using a dry skull phantom
Utilized small field-of-view dental cone-beam computed tomography
Compared findings to national diagnostic reference levels
Identified minimum dose necessary for clear imaging of teeth
Demonstrated potential for significant dose reduction
Results align with or fall below national diagnostic reference levels

Resumen

Purpose: To determine the minimum radiation dose and imaging conditions required to visualize teeth and periodontal tissues in an adult dry skull using small field-of-view (FOV) dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and to explore dose reduction potential relative to national diagnostic reference levels (DRLs).
