Authors' recommendations:
A recent guideline (2012) produced by the
European Commission was identified (prepared by the SEDENTEXCT consortium). This provides guidance on CBCT for dental and maxillofacial
radiology. It is based on a systematic review of the literature up to October 2010, and is of good quality (although the included evidence is mostly lower level studies). Most of the information included in this scoping report comes from the
guideline.
For this scoping report, a search was carried out to identify literature published since this guideline, identifying a further systematic review and 19 primary studies.
