“…In the present study, 13.65% of all patients (adults included) aged below 19 years with a mean age of 14.32 years (range 6-18 years) who had been referred for CBCT were included. This result concurred with the results of the studies by Hidalgo-Rivas et al 21 (13.7% of all patients, mean age 13.1 years, range 5-18 years), Ertaş et al 13 (mean age 13.1 years, range 6-18 years), and İşman et al 2 (mean age 13.42 years, range 2-17 years). Considering that patient characteristics change according to dentition type, it was predicted that CBCT indications also change.…”

“…According to the results of the study by Dobbyn et al, 19 the orthodontics department was found to be the second largest user of CBCT after the oral surgery department, and İşman et al 2 have mentioned that these results were consistent with theirs. Ertaş et al 13 (age range 6-73 years) observed that departments with most referrals to those with the least were oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial radiology, endodontics, paediatric dentistry, periodontology, and prosthetics. The difference between the results of the studies was thought to be due to differences in the age ranges of the samples.…”

“…This finding is consistent with those of previous studies. 13,16,24 Threedimensional systems prevent superposition and provide a detailed examination of structures that cannot be fully traced using 2D radiographs. Cone beam computed tomography scans should be evaluated to guide the surgeon, especially various disorders, dental nerve relationship, tooth position, and buccal and lingual regions in case of impacted third molar teeth.…”

“…For this reason, CBCT is usually requested before maxillofacial surgery and dental implant surgery or to evaluate benign/malignant tumors and bone pathologies 12 . Other uses of CBCT are examination of root canal morphologies, determination of pathologies of these structures, examination of root fractures, diagnosis and treatment planning of orthodontic anomalies, determination of the position of supernumerary teeth and impacted teeth and their neighbouring surrounding tissues, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology and pathologies, evaluation of paranasal sinuses, airway analysis, and determination of cleft boundaries in patients with cleft palate 10,13–18 . Cone beam computed tomography can provide significant advantages in complex dentoalveolar trauma cases.…”

Even in these cases, however, before requesting a CBCT scan, the diagnostic benefit should always be considered, and it must be evaluated at the individual case level.…”

BackgroundCone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used in paediatric dentistry. Appropriate use of CBCT is important because children are more vulnerable to ionizing radiation than adults.AimTo investigate the use of CBCT in children by describing reasons for requesting it and its distribution according to age, oral region, and department.DesignCone beam computed tomography scans of patients (age < 19 years) who presented to our dental clinic were investigated retrospectively according to sex, age (6–12 [Group 1] and 13–18 [Group 2] years based on dentition), referring department, imaging area (anterior/posterior, mandible/maxilla), and indication. Indications were grouped under five headings according to 2011 SEDENTEXCT guidelines: dental anomalies, impacted teeth, endodontics, bone pathosis, and others.ResultsOverall, 334 CBCT scans at different times and for different reasons in 319 patients were evaluated. In recent years, CBCT requests increased in both age groups. Eighty‐five CBCT scans (25.44%) of 78 patients (24.45%) with a mean age of 10.37 ± 1.60 years were examined in Group 1, whereas 249 CBCT scans (%74.55) of 241 patients (75.54%) with a mean age of 15.66 ± 1.70 years were examined in Group 2. The most frequent indication was the assessment of impacted teeth (46.1%). The anterior maxilla was the most frequently monitored region (41.6%). The oral and maxillofacial radiology department was the department that made the most CBCT requests in all the years considered (53.6%).ConclusionsThe most common indications were the assessment of dentigerous cysts and impacted teeth. There was an increase in the number of referrals to paediatric dentistry.

Objectives: Examining the reasons for the request of Dental Volumetric Tomography (DVT) by physicians may be beneficial in terms of improving the technique by determining the usage areas in dentistry faculties. The aim of this study is to examine the causes of DVT requests in patients who applied to the faculty of dentistry, and the distribution of these requests according to department, age and gender. Material and Methods: In this study, Dental Volumetric Tomography (Veraviewapocs 3D R100 (J. Morita Corp., Kyoto, Japan)) request forms of 1571 patients between 2016-2019, taken at the Department of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology of the Faculty of Dentistry of X University, were retrospectively analyzed. The age and gender of the patients included in the study, the reasons for requesting DVT and the departments requesting DVT were recorded. Chi-square test was applied on the obtained data to evaluate the relationship between descriptive statistics and reasons for desire age and gender. SPSS 22.0 Package Data Program (SPSS 22.0 Software Package Program, Inc. Chicago, IL, ABD) was used as statistical software in the study.Results: Of the 1571 patients included in the study, 836 were female and 735 were male, and the mean age was 40.44±0.624 and 39.93±0.683 respectively. Considering the reasons for the DVT request of the patients included in the study, it is seen that the most requests were made for the evaluation of pre-operative implant planning (29.5%), the lesion (20.6%), and the third molar (11.6%) impacted in the mandible, respectively. In addition to these, a total of 26 different causes of DVT were identified, such as TMJ, sinus and trauma evaluations. When we look at the relationship between the reasons for the request and gender in the whole patient group, a significant difference was found compared to the chi-square test. Conclusions: With the use of DVT in dentistry, its diagnosis and diagnosis capacity has started to develop rapidly. DVT, which enables three-dimensional imaging, enables the evaluation of anatomical structures in the head and neck region with its high resolution capacity. The use of Dental Volumetric Tomography in dentistry is increasing day by day due to its advantages such as giving clear images in terms of radiographically and examining the obtained sections from different angles.
