Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the level of knowledge and awareness toward the scope of digital imaging and CBCT, among dental practitioners in North Karnataka regions such as Bidar and Raichur city. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire study was carried out among 200 dental practitioners of North Karnataka (Bidar and Raichur). A specially designed structured questionnaire (13 in number) was administered to assess the knowledge of digital imaging and CBCT. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient test, and any P ≤ 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: A total of 200 dentists were selected for the study, among which 93.5% were reported that digital imaging is the most useful method compared to conventional method. About 91.0% of the dentists were aware of CBCT. Of 91.5% of the dentists preferred CBCT for three-dimensional imaging in the head and neck region. Among all, majority of dentists reported that all types of radiography will be used in digital imaging (45.0%). Conclusion: The current study showed that knowledge of dentist regarding digital imaging and CBCT was not satisfactory; therefore, participants require an understanding of the concepts behind CBCT and related technologies, making appropriate training essential for every member of the dental team.Sudarshan Kumar ChinnaNannuri Pranavi ReddyYekula ThapaswiniAkhila MuppidiSai Vinith PattepuPriyadarshini SharmaWolters Kluwer Medknow Publicationsarticlecone beam computed tomographydentistsdigital imagingknowledgePharmacy and materia medicaRS1-441Analytical chemistryQD71-142ENJournal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, Vol 13, Iss 6, Pp 1047-1049 (2021)
