Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The aim of this proposal is the acquisition of the key information necessary for sound and scientifically based clinical use of dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). In order that safety and efficacy are assured and enhanced in the ‘real world’, the parallel aim is to use the information to develop evidence-based guidelines dealing with justification, optimisation and referral criteria and to provide a means of dissemination and training for users of CBCT. The objectives and methodology of the proposed collaborative project are: 1. To develop evidence-based guidelines on use of CBCT in dentistry, including referral criteria, quality assurance guidelines and optimisation strategies. Guideline development will use systematic review and established methodology, involving stakeholder input. 2. To determine the level of patient dose in dental CBCT, paying special attention to paediatric dosimetry, and personnel dose. 3. To perform diagnostic accuracy studies for CBCT for key clinical applications in dentistry by use of in vitro and clinical studies. 4. To develop a quality assurance programme, including a tool/tools for quality assurance work (including a marketable quality assurance phantom) and to define exposure protocols for specific clinical applications. 5. To measure cost-effectiveness of important clinical uses of CBCT compared with traditional methods. 6. To conduct valorisation, including dissemination and training, activities via an ‘open access’ website. At all points, stakeholder involvement will be intrinsic to study design.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Researchers are aiming to find the safest and most efficient ways for dentists and medical physicists to use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), a new type of X-ray imaging technology.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
UK-based scientists want to uncover the key information needed to ensure that CBCT is used safely and efficiently and that it is employed to its full potential in the real world. Moreover, they plan to use this information to develop evidence-based guidelines for CBCT users.
The new X-ray technology is aimed in particular at dentists and medical physicists. The objectives of the 'Safety and efficacy of a new and emerging dental X-ray modality' (Sedentexct) project reflect this, aiming in addition to achieve more global goals, to provide data targeted specifically at these professions.
Hence, the project's researchers will work to determine the level of patient dose in dental CBCT, paying special attention to paediatric dosimetry, and the safety of dentist personnel. They also plan to perform diagnostic accuracy studies for CBCT use in key clinical applications in dentistry by use of in vitro and clinical studies.
Likewise, they want to make an economic evaluation or cost-effectiveness assessment of CBCT compared with traditional methods of dental imaging. Finally, the scientists aim to develop a quality assurance programme, including tools for quality assurance work, and to define exposure protocols for specific clinical applications.
