Course Description
3D Imaging such as CBCT is quickly becoming standard diagnostic imaging in all areas of dentistry. This course is designed to familiarize each participant with the fundamentals of cone beam computed tomography technology, radiation risks, legal responsibilities and interpretation as well as newer 3D imaging modalities and AI technologies that are entering or have entered the dental field. Clinical applications in the areas of implantology, endodontics, surgery, orthodontics, periodontology, and pathology will be discussed with numerous case examples. The course will provide a review of maxillofacial anatomy in 3D as well as review common radiographic pathologies and how to evaluate and review a CBCT.Learner Outcomes
Upon completion participants will understand how CBCT works, the applications of CBCT for diagnosis and treatment in a dental practice and have a better understanding of maxillofacial anatomy in a 3D CBCT as well as an understanding of newer emerging technologies. Participants will also gain an introductory interpretative diagnostic knowledge of common pathologies found in CBCT imaging as well as how to review and evaluate a CBCT volume.
