dc.description.abstractBackground and Objectives: The use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for accurate diagnosis is increasing; however, there is a significant gap in the literature regarding the reasons for CBCT requests in maxillofacial surgery. This study aimed to analyze the CBCT referral process of patients who applied for maxillofacial surgery clinic by assessing the request reasons for CBCT imaging. Methods: Patients with insufficient conventional images who were admitted to the oral surgery department between January 2018 and June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were classified based on their CBCT referral reasons. The mean ages of female and male patients were statistically compared using the independent samples t-test. The distribution of mean ages by gender was assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, while the mean ages of patients for the top three reasons for requesting CBCT were compared using the Chi-Squared test. Results: A total of 2376 patients were grouped based on their CBCT referral reasons. The most frequent reason was the evaluation of impacted mandibular third molar with 823 (34.6%) patients. 365 (15.36%) patients were referred to CBCT for the various odontogenic cysts and benign tumors, and 357 (15.02%) patients were referred to CBCT for an implant evaluation. The least frequent reasons were for the calcified areas with 9 (0.4%) patients, and for the sleep apnea with 3 (0.13%) patients. Conclusion: As a result, the most common need for CBCT in maxillofacial surgery practice was to evaluate the position of the impacted mandibular third molar.
