Determines optimal radiation doses for imaging teeth in adults, suggesting methods for safer diagnostic practices.
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).
