“…In 2014, there were at least 1,681 PR and 232 CBCT machines in Australia. 16 When PR machines first became available, general dentists referred patients to medical radiology practices to obtain radiographs. Over time, the affordability of PR machines, the productivity gains and minimising lost referral income were positive incentives for general dentists to put PR machines into their practices.…”

The new MBS implemented on 1st November 2014 resulted in a reduction in the number of rebated CBCT scans, but had no effect on rebated PR scans. Overall, there has been considerable cost savings for Medicare due to the change in MBS. Additionally, the reduction in the number of rebated CBCT scans has resulted in a substantial reduction in the ionising radiation load to the Australian community as a whole, but especially the younger age groups.

“…CBCT holds several advantages over computerized tomography (CT), panoramic and intraoral imaging which has resulted in its widespread application in dentistry 1,2 . Namely, CBCT has been applied in the fields of implantology, endodontics, orthodontics and pathology assessment, due to the ability to visualize structures in horizontal, vertical and axial views 2,3 . Notably, CBCT confers a reduced cost, reduced space consumption, limited field of view, rapid scanning time and, most notably, a reduced average radiation dosage in comparison to CT 1,2 .…”

Familiarity with cone beam computed tomography is a requisite for all dental practitioners involved in its use or referral. This scoping review examines the knowledge, attitudes, competence and confidence of dental practitioners and students towards cone beam computed tomography in the dental setting. A search of Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature was conducted to identify and chart existing evidence. Relevant studies written in English and published after 1998 and up to July 2020 were included. Of 679 papers, 39 studies were included for analysis. Key findings include deficient knowledge despite a widespread recognition of its importance and willingness to increase proficiency in its use, as well as a largely positive and optimistic view of the technology. Future studies on practitioners’ knowledge and attitudes towards cone beam computed tomography are suggested to consider the contexts of an Australian setting.

Cone beam computed tomography is widely used in dentistry. Incidental findings are common, with many requiring intervention or monitoring. We present a rare case of previously undiagnosed, asymptomatic multiple myeloma first identified incidentally on cone beam computed tomography and panoramic radiography. This case highlights the diverse range of lesions that may appear on cone beam computed tomography and the importance of radiologic interpretation.

Comparative adoption of cone beam computed tomography and panoramic radiography machines across Australia

Abstract: In 2014, the ratio of PR to CBCT machines was approximately 7:1. Projected increases in either the population size or the number of dentists could positively impact on the adoption of PR and CBCT machines in Australia.
