Dental Applications Broad acceptance in dentistry last five years • Orthodontic treatment planning • Dental implants • Temporomandibular joints for osseous degenerative changes • Evaluation of wisdom teeth vs. mandibular nerve • Disease Source; Stuart White- UCLA School of Dentistry

Bureau Issues • How to regulate these sources? • Appears that FDA has classified them as CT • If CT, subject to QA requirements • If CT, limited licensed technologists prohibited from operating unit • Your thoughts? Source; Stuart White- UCLA School of Dentistry
Suggested Regulatory Approach • Advise all CBCT registrants that FDA classifies as CT (Once we officially confirm) • Advise registrants that only the Dentist, Physician, Dental Hygienist(?) or Diagnostic Technologist can operate CBCT • Provide registrants 90 days to develop and 180 days to implement alternative QA program as permitted by N.J.A.C. 7:28-22.3(g).
