Imaging was performed on a CBCT (Orthophos 3D SL ®, DentsplySirona
Quantitative Radiology, Verona, Italy) with the following three different volumetric acquisition protocols:
2.1 s radiation time, 10 mA, 85 kV, FOV 8 × 8 cm2, isotropic voxel size 0.16 mm, Dose–Area-product (DAP) 47 mGy cm2
4.3 s radiation time, 10 mA, 85kV, FOV 8 × 8 cm2, isotropic voxel size 0.16 mm, DAP 334 mGy cm2
14.2 s radiation time, 6 mA, 85 kV, FOV 8 × 8 cm2, isotropic voxel size 0.08 mm, DAP 657 mGy cm2
