Estimated radiation risk of cancer from dental cone-beam computed tomography imaging in orthodontics patients

Estimated radiation risk of cancer from dental cone-beam computed tomography imaging in orthodontics patients

Background: Radiation dose evaluation is important to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for routine orthodontic treatment planning, especially for a significant proportion of children in orthodontic patients. This study evaluated the patient radiation dose and estimated the radiation cancer risk...
