It allows the clinicians to analyse the craniofacial structures of jaw, bone and teeth in three dimensional resolution. It provides many advantages in dental treatments, planning with a lower radiation exposure. Aim The primary objective of our present study was to analyse and compare the hounsfield units between the two CBCT machines. Materials And Methods A 3 dimensional radiographic phantom made up of poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA); clear acrylic. The length of the phantom measures about 4cm and width of 2.5 cm.
