“…Studies examining practitioner knowledge relating to radiation safety with CBCT use were also found in this review. Specifically, a study of Indian orthodontists found that 84% of respondents were just aware that it is not justified to use CBCT on all patients 41 . The findings of a qualitative Swedish study demonstrate a high knowledge of dentists concerning radiation exposure risk involved in CBCT use 19 .…”

“…Additionally, this review found several studies investigating dentists’ knowledge of differences between CBCT and CT, with 42–70% of participants aware of the fundamental differences between cone beam tomography and conventional tomography 18,24,46 . Namely, 55–93.3% of respondents cited reduced radiation dose as an advantage conferred by CBCT, in comparison to CT 12,13,18,27,35,41 . Whilst only 37.3% of Iranian dentists properly identified that CT delivers a greater radiation dose 1 .…”

“…A total of 31 papers examined aspects of respondents’ knowledge or awareness of CBCT. Of these studies, four appear to have been well‐conducted, 10,12,19 15 were moderately robust in their findings, 1,13‐15,18,21,23,24,26,27,29,39,41,45,46 and 12 had questionable evidence due to the low strength of their methodology 16,17,20,22,28,31‐33,36‐38,40,42,43,47 …”

“…Additionally, a large proportion (62.5%) of participants were found to be uncertain of the radiation exposure doses associated with a CBCT scan 29 . Furthermore, in studies assessing practitioners’ knowledge of guidelines on CBCT use, 50% of Indian orthodontists were aware of guidelines, 41 with this poor knowledge mirrored by Swedish dentists that reported a limited knowledge of guidelines in a qualitative interview study 19 . Interestingly, 3.4% of Iranian dentists were found to use CBCT for caries diagnosis 1 …”

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.

Introduction: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) system is designed to provide 3- dimensional representation of the maxillofacial skeleton with high diagnostic quality of hard tissues of the maxillofacial skeleton. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the level of knowledge and attitude towards CBCT of orthodontists practicing in two Arab countries in the Middle East. Subject and Method: Data was collected through a questionnaire assessing the knowledge and attitude towards CBCT. Results: A total of 41 participants were enrolled in the study. The most common age group (63%) among participants was more than 40 years old. Knowledge score was calculated as the percent of the right answers from the total of 21 knowledge questions. the distribution of all respondent’s CBCT knowledge revealed that more than three-quarters of the respondents were moderately knowledgeable (76%) whereas 12.2% were in the low and high categories. Conclusion: The study results indicate that there is a definite gap in knowledge and attitude towards CBCT applications amongst the dental specialists. The dental specialists themselves reported lack of training in this field, and strongly urge a need for training in this field.
