Informed Consent for Cone Beam CT Scan
(1) A Cone Beam CT scan is an x-ray technique that produces 3D images of your teeth and jaws that allows for visualisation in cross section rather than as overlapping images typically produced by conventional x-ray examination.
- (2) Advantages of a CBCT scan include: More accurate diagnosis with greater chance of detecting conditions such as dental infections and root fractures that may otherwise be missed on conventional x-rays.
- Greater chance of providing information which may result in the patient avoiding unnecessary and sometimes invasive dental treatment.
- Helps the dentist see what needs to be done before commencing treatment.
- Higher accuracy when planning root canal treatment, more predictable outcomes, and faster treatment.
(3) Radiation: CBCT scans, like conventional x-rays, expose you to a low level of radiation. There are certain inherent and potential risks from radiation. The dose per CBCT scan is equivalent to several days of normal background environmental radiation and is considered safe. An alternative to a CBCT scan is reliance on conventional dental x-rays alone, however this has the limitations previously noted.
(4) Women and pregnancy: CBCT scans are NOT recommended for pregnant women.
I am not pregnant. I am pregnant. I am unsure whether I am pregnant.
(5) Diagnosis of non-dental conditions: While parts of your anatomy beyond your mouth may be visible on the scan, we are neither physicians nor radiologists and will not make assessments concerning your anatomy beyond your mouth. We provide the scan for the purpose of dental evaluation only. Dentists are not qualified to diagnose all conditions that may be present.
