TODO - Advantages of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) include high-quality 3D imaging and reduced radiation exposure with relatively low cost. In this study, patient radiation exposure in CBCT implant planning dentistry was measured in terms of Kerma Area Product (KAP). Data were obtained from 217 CBCT scans on 168 individuals using a CS9300 Carestream system. Scans were made using 80-90 kVp, 4-5 mA, 8 and 13.3 s exposure time (depending on voxel size) and a fixed field of view (FOV) of 10 × 10 cm2 (medium). Mean KAP was estimated using two voxel sizes 180 × 180 × 180 μm3 and 200 × 200 × 200 μm3 and found to be 399 and 314 mGycm2, respectively. Corresponding KAP values found in literature ranged between 210 and 2140 mGycm2. Mean E was estimated using conversion coefficient factors found in literature, according to FOV size and tube voltage value and found to range between 24 and 161 μSv. © The Author(s) 2019.
