“…A self-administered questionnaire was designed based on previous studies with some modi cations, assessing the knowledge, awareness, practice, education, and applications of CBCT among a convenient sample of pediatric dentists from private, governmental, and academic elds throughout Egypt. [12][13][14] The survey participants were chosen based on their experience in the practice of pediatric dentistry in Egypt. The participating pediatric dentists were ensured that the results of the study were con dential and were used only for scienti c purposes.…”

Aim: To assess the knowledge and awareness of CBCT among a group of Egyptian pediatric dentistsMaterials and methods: An online open-ended questionnaire with 21 items were delivered to around 300 applicants, who practice pediatric dentistry in Egypt. The questionnaire was conveyed by Facebook and distributed among different groups, via Whats app groups and messages, through emails and LinkedIn platform. Demographic, knowledge and awareness data regarding CBCT were collected. Categorical data were analyzed using chi square test followed by pairwise comparisons utilizing multiple z-tests with Bonferroni correction. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05.Results: Two-hundred twenty-nine participants responded to the survey during a 2-month interval. Almost half of the respondents showed poor knowledge of CBCT, 65.2% believes that adequate teaching is not given to dental students, regarding CBCT in their universities, and 95.2% assumes that continuous education courses is required for pediatric dentists.Conclusions: There is explicit gap in knowledge and awareness of CBCT in pediatric dental practitioners, necessitating additional CBCT education and training courses for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.Clinical relevance: The increase of knowledge and awareness among Egyptian pediatric dentists is required, more training and tuition should be integrated in the students’ curricula in their undergraduate and post graduate stages.

Introduction: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) system is designed to provide 3- dimensional representation of the maxillofacial skeleton with high diagnostic quality of hard tissues of the maxillofacial skeleton. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the level of knowledge and attitude towards CBCT of orthodontists practicing in two Arab countries in the Middle East. Subject and Method: Data was collected through a questionnaire assessing the knowledge and attitude towards CBCT. Results: A total of 41 participants were enrolled in the study. The most common age group (63%) among participants was more than 40 years old. Knowledge score was calculated as the percent of the right answers from the total of 21 knowledge questions. the distribution of all respondent’s CBCT knowledge revealed that more than three-quarters of the respondents were moderately knowledgeable (76%) whereas 12.2% were in the low and high categories. Conclusion: The study results indicate that there is a definite gap in knowledge and attitude towards CBCT applications amongst the dental specialists. The dental specialists themselves reported lack of training in this field, and strongly urge a need for training in this field.

“…Thus, this study aimed to assess the knowledge level of Iranian dental practitioners regarding digital radiography and CBCT. In this cross-sectional study, a researcherdesigned questionnaire according to previous studies was used [8][9][10]. this questionnaire included three main domains of demographic information (age, gender, general or specialty practice, type of specialty, work experience), knowledge about digital radiography (advantages, disadvantages, physical properties), and knowledge about CBCT (indications, applications, advantages, route of knowledge acquisition).…”

Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge level of Iranian dental practitioners about digital radiography(DR) andcone-beamcomputedtomography (CBCT). Material and Methods: In this crosssectional study, a researcher-designed questionnaire was administered among 180 general dentists and specialists. The questionnaire had three main domains of demographic information, fifteen questions about knowledge of DR (advantages, disadvantages, physical properties) and twenty six questions about knowledge of CBCT (indications, applications, advantages, route of knowledge acquisition). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results: Of 180 participants, 76 (42.2%) were females. The minimum, maximum and mean± standard deviation scores obtained in DR were 4, 14, and 9.031 ± 1.85 and in CBCT were 0,26 and 18.56 ± 4.81, respectively. In the CBCT domain, the participants had maximum knowledge about “low radiation dose” (72.8%) and minimum knowledge about the “role of CBCT in determination of bone density” (45%). In DR domain, the participants had maximum knowledge about “no need for radiographic films” (75.6%) and minimum knowledge about “not requiring manual processing” (15.6%). Overall, participants had higher level of knowledge about CBCT than DR. An inverse correlation was noted between age and work experience with the number of correct answers. However, no significant difference was noted in the knowledge level of males and females regarding CBCT or DR (p = 0.233 and p = 0.227, respectively). Conclusions: further education seem imperative for dentists in this respect for more efficient diagnosis and treatment planning, minimize patient radiation dose and save time and cost. Keywords Digital radiography; Cone-Beam computed tomography; Knowledge; Dentists.
