Evidence and Professional Guidelines for Appropriate Use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has applications in several aspects of dentistry. To appropriately use this technology, clinicians should be able to identify those situations where the information from CBCT is likely to provide useful information, and where this additional information translates into enhanced diagnoses, treatment plans and treatment outcomes. This article summarizes current evidence and recommendations from professional societies that guide safe and effective use of this technology for enhanced patient care.
