ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the occurrence of genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in oral epithelium after exposure of patients to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).METHODS:
A systematic review (SR) was conducted following the PECO (Population, Exposure, Comparison, Outcome) criteria. The study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). A search was performed on the PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases. Effect size and heterogeneity of data were evaluated statistically. The Joanna Briggs Institute questionnaire for observational studies was utilized to assess the risk of bias. The GRADE tool was applied for the assessment of the quality of evidence. Begg's funnel plot was used to evaluate publication bias.RESULTS:
In total, 10 full-text articles were included in the SR, with 6 of them in the meta-analysis. The SR showed a significant increase in micronuclei after exposure, with a large effect size of 1.03. For genotoxicity, the tau2 for heterogeneity was 0.96, the chi-squared test for heterogeneity P < .00001, the I2 statistics for random effects was 91%, and the overall effect for Z value was 2.46 (P = .01). The risk of bias was low, the quality of evidence was strong, and publication bias was absent.CONCLUSION:
CBCT can cause genotoxicity in the oral epithelium with a large effect size. The measure of cytotoxicity after CBCT exposure was not possible due to the lack of homogeneity of the included articles.
