description Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of knowledge and attitudes about digital radiography and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) of Marmara University 4th and 5th grade students as a result of their education.Methods: In our study, a questionnaire consisting of 16 questions was applied to 100 4th and 100 5th grade students totally 200 students who are educated in Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry. Besides the knowledge level of the students, their attitudes were evaluated.Results: In our study, there was statistically significant difference between the responses given to “What source or sources do you know about CBCT?”, “How much do you think CBCT  will be used in routine dental practice in the near future?”, “In which cases do you prefer to use CBCT in your future clinical life?”, “Would you prefer to use CBCT in your future professional clinical life?”, “According to you, in what year of dental training should CBCT be taught?” between 4th and 5th grade students (p<0.05). Conclusion: It seems that their 5th grade had more information about CBCT and more positive attitudes at the same time due to the high rate of their participation in one year of experience, courses and seminars. Additional classes can be given on these subjects in the classes at the faculties and at the same time participation in the seminars can be encouraged in order to increase the knowledge level of the 4th grade and to get more accurate information about CBCT.KEYWORDS Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Digital Radiography
