Abstract
Oro-maxillofacial cone-beam CT (CBCT) is the most widely used three-dimensional imaging method in the field of oral and maxillofacial radiology. It has been widely used in China, while radiation safety, examination indications and other issues still lack comprehensive regulations and standards. Over the years, clinical guidelines and position statements for the rational use of CBCT examinations have been issued in the world, providing standardized instructions for local practitioners. This paper reviewed these guidelines to provide reference for the formulation of relevant guidelines in China.
