Aims: The Education Committee of the European Academy of DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology should 'encourage and support high levels of graduate and postgraduate education in dentomaxillofacial radiology (DMFR) all over Europe'. For this reason, the committee aimed to formulate a document describing resources allocated for undergraduate education within oral radiology in Europe today that can serve as a benchmark against which dental schools and/or countries with dentistry programmes can relate their undergraduate education.
Materials And Methods: A questionnaire addressing resources allocated for learning oral radiology was distributed to colleagues involved in oral radiology education in 117 dental schools in 29 countries in Europe.
Article Synopsis
- * 48 teeth were imaged with various X-ray exposure settings, and the diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by five dental radiologists, who assessed both fractures and image quality.
- * Results indicated that a dose reduction of about 20% could be achieved without compromising diagnostic accuracy, and higher resolution settings did not significantly enhance image quality.
Objectives: The evidence for diagnostic accuracy using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for dental applications depends heavily on research, but there is little knowledge of whether the model used affects the diagnostic accuracy results. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of different designs of anthropomorphic models on diagnostic accuracy for the specific task of dental root fracture detection.
Methods: Horizontal or oblique root fracture was induced in 24 of 48 permanent maxillary incisors.
