Özet

The Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of radiation dose from different imaging protocols on the visualization of maxillary impacted canine teeth in 10 and 15-year-old patients using cone beam computed tomography.

Material and Methods: PCXMX 2.0 software was utilized to calculate organ absorbed doses. Images were simulated in 360 degrees using Newtom7G and Newtom GO devices with 8X6 cm2 FOV in best, regular, and low resolution modes.

Results: It has been observed that the total absorbed organ dose is highest
in images taken in the best mode of Newtom 7G, followed by regular and low modes. When comparing the total absorbed organ dose between the two devices, the highest value belongs to the best mode of Newtom 7G, while the lowest is
associated with the low mode of Newtom GO. The most affected tissues are oral mucosa and salivary glands.

Conclusion: It has been observed that patients aged 10 receive a higher radiation dose in total absorbed radiation doses compared to those aged 15. When comparing radiation doses from images obtained in all modes of the two devices, Newtom 7G is found to cause more radiation exposure in tissues than Newtom GO. Oral mucosa is identified as the most affected tissue in terms of radiation exposure.
