- Abstract:
- The use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) among Swiss dentists increases from year to year. The aim of this study was to investigate the application frequency and the knowledge about CBCT and radiation dosage in a representative Swiss dentist sample. A standardized questionnaire about knowledge on CBCT was personally handed out or sent by post to 1,000 dentists in Switzerland (return postage was free of charge). 278 dentists returned the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis of general variables and written answers of the questionnaires were evaluated. Most dentists were aware of radiation dosage and potential use of the CBCT and are interested in continuing education on CBCT.
