“…7,8 Considering the recent evaluation of the study conducted by Farman et al, it has been reported that there are 3,000 CBCT units in the USA and 800 CBCT units in Germany. 9 Despite the number of CBCT units in Turkey today is still relatively small, some recently opened dental schools along with oral and dental hospitals exhibit intention for obtaining CBCT device.…”

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate competence and awareness of dentists in Turkey with regard to use and application of cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT). Material and Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 12 questions was sent to approximately 2.000 dentists via electronic media. Feedback was received from 105 dentists. Completed questionnaires were examined and statistically analyzed using the results and chisquare test. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: Of the dentists participating in the study, 91.4% reported they had CBCT awareness. In the study, 55.2% of dentists reported that they could interpret CBCT images. Of those who had knowledge about CBCT, 66.7% think that the training they get during undergraduate education is not enough. According to the study, CBCT was found to be used most commonly during implant planning (78.1%). This was followed by cyst-tumor (9.5%), orthodontic causes (1%) and trauma (1%). Conclusion: Today, Turkish dentists have a high awareness of CBCT. However, the interpret ability on CBCT images is not at the desired level. To meet the need for CBCT training of dentists in Turkey, hands-on training could be given at the universities along with theoretical lectures and practical courses rather than theoretical knowledge given by oral and maxillofacial radiology specialists after undergraduate education could be enhanced.

“…One major disadvantage is that it can only demonstrate a limited contrast resolution [ 33 , 37 , 38 ]. If the objective of the examination is hard tissue only, using a CBCT would not be a problem; however, it is not sufficient for soft tissue evaluation [ 33 , 39 ].…”

The aim of this retrospective radiological study was to evaluate the variability of the mandibular anatomy in the presence and absence of teeth and to consider how it could influence implant planning. 187 mandibular CT DentaScans were selected from our department archive according to the inclusion criteria. The axial height, vertical height, angulation of the bone crest, and the bone available for ideal implant placement were measured. The analysis of the data shows that the mandible contour presents a constant degree of angulation. The variation of angulation in the absence of teeth was statistically significant only in the region between the canine and the first premolar and in that between the second premolar and the first molar. The difference between the crest height and the available distance to place the implant was greater in the region of the second molar while in the other regions the implant planning was made complex by postextraction resorption. Alveolar bone resorption after tooth loss can be considered as a risk factor for lingual cortical perforation during the insertion of an implant. To avoid potential intra/postoperative complications, 3D radiographic examination is recommended in order to study the mandibular anatomy and identify the risk areas.

“…Considering the fact that there are only 20 CBCT units available throughout the entire country, it is not surprising that CBCT education remains limited to theoretical instruction (by comparison, 3000 CBCT units have been purchased in the USA and 800 in Germany 13 ). Our study highlights the difficulties of acquiring knowledge about a system without practical Values in parentheses are percentages UGS, undergraduate students; PGS, post-graduate students; DS4, fourth year student; DS5, fifth year students experience.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate students' knowledge and attitudes regarding cone beam CT (CBCT). Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 11 questions was given to 472 dental students (280 pre-graduate and 192 post-graduate) at two institutions located in Ankara, Turkey (Ankara University, Faculty of Dentistry, and Gazi University, Faculty of Dentistry). Differences in responses by institution, education level and sex were statistically assessed with the x 2 test. Results: Statistical results showed that only 63.3% of students had heard of CBCT. Of these, 59.9% said they had learned about CBCT in their classes, 31.0% in seminars and 20.9% from the internet; 76.8% felt that CBCT was not given adequate coverage in their courses; 69% thought that CBCT should be taught as part of their clinical education; 91% thought it essential for CBCT to be available at dental faculties; 53.5% believed that the use of CBCT would become more widespread in the near future; and 84.9% wished to use CBCT technology in their future careers. Conclusion: This research suggests that efforts should be made to improve students' knowledge base regarding CBCT and that the dental school curriculum should devote more curriculum time to this promising new technology.
