Albeit low-dose protocols have potential to result in a reduction of dose exposure for 3D imaging due to dental indications, there is a need to more clearly specify indications and limitations to avoid indiscriminate use of standard and high-dose CBCT scans in the future on the lines of ALARA/ALADA principles.
