Abstract


Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a three-dimensional radiographic imaging method that offers accurate data on the structure of hard tissues. The aim of this study was to estimate the CBCT knowledge level held by dental profession student at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Sumatera Utara. The design of this study was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study using a questionnaire for collecting the data. The study included 385 dental profession student from the class of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. The results showed that the percentage of students correctly identifying CBCT as a form of ionizing radiation radiography and CBCT's advantages over conventional CT was 52.2% and 48.1%, respectively. The percentage of students correctly identifying CBCT hardware 45.2%, CBCT con angle 64.4%, patient preparation 38.4%, and patient position was 36.6%, while only 24.2% of students correctly answered CBCT acquisition time. The study's findings concluded that the knowledge of dental profession student in the Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Sumatera Utara, could be categorized into three levels: good (11.2%; 43 students), sufficient (21.8%; 84 students), and poor (67.0%; 258 students)
