BACKGROUND Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was first introduced in 2008 and has since seen a tremendous growth in both private dental clinics and dental institutions. This has led to the normalization of CBCT use by general dentists. Therefore, it is essential to assess how and why general and specialist dentists use CBCT. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, practice and attitude towards CBCT among general and specialist dentists working in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was electronically distributed via email and social media from October 2018 to September 2020. The self-administered questionnaire was divided into five segments: demographics, knowledge, current practice, training and attitude. RESULTS A total of 221 dentists filled the questionnaire including 85 general dentists and 135 post graduate students or specialists. The majority of dentists (81.9 %) demonstrated poor knowledge. Orthodontists and endodontists were most aware of CBCT terms. Most dentists (71.5 %) have a CBCT unit in their practice. Only 34.8 % received CBCT training, the majority of which was theoretical. A positive attitude was noted in 83.2 % of dentists by agreeing to a statement regarding CBCT justification. CONCLUSIONS Poor CBCT knowledge was evident in majority of dentists despite having CBCT in their practice. Dentists are highly aware of the importance of CBCT justification and professional interpretation; however, they lack basic knowledge and training related to this imaging modality. This highlights an institutional gap that policy makers should address in order to ensure the highest quality of patient care. KEY WORDS Cone Beam Computed Tomography; CBCT; Survey

Objectives: This paper is aimed to report a case of peri-implantitis which is diagnosed using CBCT. Case Report: A 61 year old male was referred to a dental radiology unit for CBCT examination. The patient complained of pain in the area of ​​the tooth where the implant was attached. CBCT results show there is inflammation around the implant that has been inserted, characterized by a visible radiolucent area in 1/3 of the cervical implant on the mesial, distal, buccal / labial and palatal sides with varying sizes on each side. Based on the radiograph findings, the diagnosis of peri-implantitis was confirmed. Conclusion: Peri-implantitis is inflammation around the implant which results in a condition in the form of bone loss around the implant that is placed. Radiographic examination such as CBCT can be an excellent choice to help diagnose peri-implantitis by seeing a clearer 3-dimensional radiograph.

Radiographic Investigation

Within a century, dental radiology “suffered” transformation, beginning with periapical radiographs, cephalograms and panoramic radiography and continuing with digital imaging and cone beam computed tomography. In contemporary dental practice is importantant to choose the type of radiographic investigation in order to achieve a complete and accurate diagnosis, so necessary for determining the treatment plan for patients with dental-maxillary abnormalities. We conducted a comparative study between conventional radiographic investigation (periapical radiographs, panoramic radiography) and cone beam computed tomography in patients with malocclusions. The costs and radiation doses are low to the classic X-rays, but the diagnosis is given by the two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional dental-maxillary pathologies. Cone Beam CT scans were relatively high in cost and in radiation doses, but provided three-dimensional images and anatomic and radiological data of superior quality to the classics.

In this article, we evaluate the effectiveness of Cone Beam Computed Tomography, through a case study, in assessing the complication of intracranial bleeding during an endovascular treatment of brain arteriovenous malformation when compared to Multislice-Detector Computed Tomography performed immediately after the procedure. The image quality of Cone Beam Computed Tomography has enough diagnostic value in differentiating between haemorrhage, embolic materials and the arteriovenous malformation nidus to facilitate physicians to decide for further management of the patient.
