Objectives. The aim of this study was to map and compare the distributions of absorbed doses with Gafchromic film for panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by using adult and child phantoms. Study Design. Gafchromic films were placed at 5 selected levels of anthropomorphic h...

Objective: Optimization of radiographic examinations is essential for radiation protection. The objective of the study was to investigate the clinical applicability of a low-dose CBCT protocol as compared to the default for pre-surgical evaluation of mandibular third molars. Material & methods: Forty-eight patients (62 teeth) referred for pre-su...

Objectives To develop and evaluate an educational web‐based program for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment using cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods A web‐based educational program was designed for TMJ assessment using CBCT images. Fifteen CBCT cases of the TMJ (three‐dimensional reconstructed volumes) and an assessment module base...

Objective Evaluation of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examination with a low-dose scanning protocol for assessment of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Methods 34 adult patients referred for CBCT imaging of the TMJ underwent two examinations with two scanning protocols, a manufacturer-recommended protocol (default) and a low-dose protocol...

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examination of the tem-poromandibular joint (TMJ) has become a recognised tool in case of suspicion for the presence of osseous changes, after a thorough history and clinical examination of the patient. CBCT images provide high spatial resolution in three-dimensional (3D) images, which is desirable in diagnostic...

Objectives: Osseous changes in temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are common indications for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The number of such cases is increasing while number of qualified oral radiologists is limited. The present study investigated usefulness of a training program for general dental practitioners (GDPs) regarding temp...

Panoramic radiography was the common technique in assessment of mandibular fractures. It is two dimensional and has a significant magnification that limit an accurate interpretation of images associated with traumatically injured mandible. The objective of this study was to assess the mandibular fractures by multislice computed tomography and recon...
