This journal pre-proof from the Journal of Dentistry presents a narrative overview of commercially available cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) devices used in dentistry. Authored by Rocharles Cavalcante Fontenele, Hugo Gaêta-Araujo, and Reinhilde Jacobs, the research highlights the wide variation in technical features among these devices, such as kV, mA, and FOV. The study identifies 87 CBCT models from 34 manufacturers and discusses how these different specifications impact image quality and diagnostic performance. Furthermore, the authors develop decision support charts to provide clinical recommendations for selecting appropriate CBCT parameters based on specific dental specialties, aiming to optimize image acquisition for various indications while considering the ALADAIP principle to minimize patient radiation dose.
