Table 1: _Cont._Mean Knowledge score regarding CBCT was calibrated (Table 3). In the present study, knowledge and attitude of the subjects regarding the use of CBCT was assessed. Over two-fifths (41.6%) of the study's subjects had knowledge about the use of CBCT. Only 25.2% believed CBCT to be safe for use in children, 76.8% did not recommend the use of CBCT for all the children visiting pediatric clinic and 66.8% had recommended no pediatric patients for CBCT in the last year.
