Objectives: To determine the CBCT education status and the clock hours for CBCT instruction in North American Dental Schools. Method: An electronic questionnaire was sent to seventy-six PICOMRIs using Qualtrics. They were requested to send another questionnaire to fourth-year dental students. Results: Fifty PICOMRIs (65.79%) responded to the survey. CBCT anatomy and interpretation were taught in all thirty-three and twenty-nine responding dental schools, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between CBCT instruction and PICOMRIs' education and experience (p[less than]0.05). A moderate and strong association between CBCT instruction and PICOMRIs' qualification and experience noted. PICOMRIs (69.44%) believed students were a novice and not sure/no (77.14%) about sufficient CBCT knowledge/skill level to implement CBCT. Sixty percent CBCT instruction (1-2 hours) occurred outside the radiology department and seventy-four schools offered continuing education. Conclusion: Data revealed inconsistencies in CBCT instruction and further research recommended establishing an adequate level CBCT knowledge level in North America.
