ABSTRACT
Objective@#To discuss the success rate and image quality in pediatric patients who used chloral hydrate before their cone beam computed tomography exam.@*Methods@#1752 patients aged 1 to 6 were selected for this retrospective study. They were divided into sedated group (219 cases) and non-sedated group (1 533 cases). The success rate and image quality were compared between two groups.@*Results@#The sedated group had a higher success rate to non-sedated group: 99.5%(218/219) vs. 90.4% (1 386/1 533). The motion artifact in sedated group was lower than non- sedated group with I degree: 4.8% (15/314) vs. 20.1%(327/1 630) and II degree: 0.3%(1/314) vs. 12.2%(199/1 630).@*Conclusion@#Giving chloral hydrate to pediatric patients before their CBCT exam would improve both success rate and image quality, and reduce unnecessary radiation expose.
