Effective and organ doses were estimated using VirtualDoseCT software. Lifetime attributable risk of cancer incidence was estimated using BEIR VII report. DRL values were established based on gender and indication. Indication based values were 341\u00a0mGy.cm2 for implants, 387\u00a0mGy.cm2 for lesions, and 342\u00a0mGy.cm2 for sinus scans. Effective doses (EDs) were analyzed, yielding values of 30\u00a0\u03bcSv for males and 20\u00a0\u03bcSv for females. Organ doses analysis revealed that salivary glands received the highest dose, while thymus had the lowest in both genders. Lifetime attributable risk of cancer incidence was evaluated and found to be 0.0027 in 100\u00a0000 for male patients and 0.0084 in 100\u00a0000 for female patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study highlights the importance of minimizing radiation exposure in CBCT examinations to reduce the risk of cancer and heritable effects.
