ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the kerma at the surface of the lens in TMJ CBCT and to derive the equivalent dose. An anthropomorphic phantom of the head and neck manufactured by Radiation Support Devices (model RS-230) was used. The dosimetric measurements were obtained by using fourteen thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) dosimeters (LiF: Mg, Ti), divided in two pairs (one pair for each eye) and positioned on the surface of the phantom, per scanner evaluated. The tomographic images were acquired in three types of CBCT equipment (CS 9000, Gendex GXCB 500 and i-CAT). Values of equivalent dose obtained were: 5.82 mSv (CS 9000); 5.38 mSv (Gendex GXCB 500) and 7.98 mSv (i-CAT), which varied in accordance with the scanner and the exposure factors used in the image acquisition. The Gendex GXCB 500 used larger FOV and higher kV, resulting in levels close to those obtained on the CS 9000, while larger doses were associated with the i-CAT. The dose values associated with TMJ radiological procedures should be performed with awareness and appropriateness due to sensitivity of the lens.
