Please describe conditions classified under the Preferred category for the prescription of CBCT

What will be an ideal response?

Conditions classified under the Preferred category require more careful consideration as a practitioner must assess whether the risk versus benefit warrants a CBCT examination; or could 2-D radiographs provide enough information. Examples include location of inferior alveolar nerve, endodontic therapy, evaluation of sinus cavities, evaluation of bony defects, evaluation of oral pathologic lesions, and TMJ evaluations.
