Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has several applications in various fields of dental medicine such as diagnosis and treatment planning. When compared to computed tomography (CT), CBCT's radiation exposure dose is decreased by 3%-20%. However, CBCT produces more scattered signals and may present poorer image quality when compared to medical CT.
