On February 22, 2024, we searched for the literature through the Web of Science Core Collection with the following search string: Topic—(pediatric OR paediatric OR child*) AND CBCT AND (low-dose OR “low dose” OR optimi*). The search string identified papers that mentioned these words and their derivatives in the title, abstract, and keywords. The search yielded 77 original articles. Studies were included if they tested multiple scanning protocols, recruited human subjects or used phantom heads, and evaluated the image quality with either subjective or objective measurements. Studies were excluded if they were not written in English. After screening their titles and abstracts, we identified five studies that established low-dose CBCT protocols for various indications in paediatric patients: Hidalgo Rivas et al. (2015), EzEldeen et al. (2017), Oenning et al. (2019), Brasil et al. (2019), and Ito et al. (2023).&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3-7&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; An additional study by Lemberger et al.

In this era of evidence-based dentistry, paediatric patients would benefit much more if such protocols were repeatedly tested and validated (and fine-tuned) by different research teams. Then, these protocols could be readily translated into daily clinical practice with steadfast evidence instead of being preliminary recommendations. In addition, the literature indicates that imaging performance and radiation dose outcomes in CBCTs cannot be directly extrapolated across different CBCT models due to significant variations in technical characteristics and clinical diagnostic efficacy.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; There is an urgent need for additional studies that use consistent methodologies to test new machines and protocols.
