INTRODUCTION: Cone beam computed tomography is a new diagnostic innovation to
dental imaging. Despite the use of CBCT in oral and maxillofacial imaging,
reports on its use either by individual practitioners or referral patterns to
CBCT centers is lacking. Hence, a study was conducted to determine incidental
findings on CBCT and reasons for referral by dental practitioners in Indore city.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 795 records that were referred
for CBCT imaging at Institutional and Oracal CBCT Centre, Indore was undertaken.
Referrals from both within and outside institution, as well as from private
practitioners were considered. The reason for CBCT referral, provision diagnosis,
final diagnosis and any incidental diagnosis were recorded. RESULTS: This
retrospective chart audit revealed that 56.7 % were male and 43.3% were females.
Greatest source of patients was referred by oral surgeons (21.9%) followed by
oral and maxillofacial radiologist (14.2%) and prosthodontist (9.3%). The most
common reason for referral was for implant analysis (24.2%) and the most common
incidental finding diagnosed by CBCT was oral malignancies. CONCLUSION: In
Institutional set-up, CBCT referrals were mostly for the reason of planning
implant placement followed by trauma whereas private practitioners used CBCT
mostly for implant placement followed by impaction. CBCT was being utilized more
by Oral surgeons in private sector whereas it in an Institutional setup majority
of referrals from Department of Oral Diagnosis and Radiology. Findings that were
most commonly diagnosed incidentally on CBCT were Orofacial malignancies followed
maxillary sinus pathologies.
