Innovative Study on Low-Dose CBCT for Evaluating Impacted Mandibular Third Molars

Posted: November 19, 2024
A recent study compared low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with standard-dose CBCT in assessing impacted mandibular third molars (M3Ms) and their proximity to the mandibular canal (MC). The results showed that low-dose CBCT provided acceptable image quality for evaluating M3Ms, with no significant impact on treatment decisions compared to standard-dose CBCT. This suggests that low-dose CBCT protocols may be clinically acceptable for M3M management while reducing radiation exposure.
