Harmful Effects

The increased awareness of the possible harmful effects of ionizing radiation has resulted in concern at the number of panoramic radiographs taken in General Dental Practice. A study has been carried out to examine the diagnostic value obtained from panoramic radiographs taken at 9–10 years of age. Nine-hundred and-eighty-two radiographs were examined and 261 (26·5 per cent) showed findings which would be of significance in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.

Plain Film Radiography

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can be a useful adjunct to conventional plain film radiography, but its use must be carefully justified as the radiation dose is generally higher. Factors affecting the dose include the field of view (FOV) size, the exposure factors, the angle of rotation and voxel size. Once justified, the exposure should be fully optimised to ensure the dose to the patient is kept as low as possible while ensuring there is no reduction in the diagnostic yield. The European Commission (EC) and the Faculty of General Dental Practice (FGDP)(UK) have published selection criteria on the use of CBCT in dentistry. This article provides an overview of CBCT and summarises the latest guidance on selection criteria relevant to the general dental practitioner.
