Dental CT was developed in the late 1990s to enable three-dimensional imaging. Today, it has become an indispensable diagnostic imaging device for dental care, including dental implants. In addition, a wide variety of models have been developed, and it has become possible to select FOV and voxels of various sizes. However, as the exposure dose is about 10 times as high as intraoral radiography and panoramic radiography, attention must be paid to its application. In accordance with the principles of ALARA, it is necessary to carry out efficient diagnostic imaging to achieve diagnostic objectives with the lowest possible exposure dose. This paper introduces the points to keep in mind and the latest trends in imaging equipment.
