| Özet |
| The use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for dentomaxillofacial diagnostics in pediatric dentistry is expanding and concerns have been raised about the radiation risks associated with this imaging modality, especially for children. Dentomaxillofacial paediatric imaging: an investigation towards low-dose radiation induced risks (DIMITRA) is a multidisciplinary project focused on optimizing CBCT exposure for children and adolescents. This study aims to clarify the indications behind CBCT scans in children aligned with DIMITRA's recommendations. For each CBCT examination, data were collected on patient age at the time of the CBCT examination, gender, reason for request, referring department, CBCT-requested region, and the field of view (FOV) dimension of imaging. The CBCT indications were categorized under six headings according to an adaptation of the DIMITRA project recommendations: impacted teeth, dentoalveolar trauma, orofacial clefts, dental anomalies, bone pathology, syndromes. Indications not categorized in DIMITRA were recorded below the heading "other". The most common indication was the "other" category (34.8%), which included implant, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, orofacial anomalies, foreign object and root canal morphology. The least common indication was "orofacial cleft" (1.9%) and no requests were made for cases related to syndromes. Detection of supernumerary tooth in dental anomalies (68.6%) was the most common CBCT indication, while dentigerous cysts (37.6%) were among the most common CBCT indication in bone pathologies and orofacial anomalies (68.1%) in the other category. The most common size was External Center (15 × 15 cm) (27%) and the least common size was Both Arches/small (8 × 8 cm) (0.4%) when the CBCT FOV was analysed. Although the option of a smaller FOV size was available, the larger FOV size that included the both jaws were most frequently used. When justifying CBCT requests, patient-specific radiation dose risks should be considered and specific guidelines should be followed. |
