CBCT IN CONTEMPORARY DENTAL PRACTICE: 2-DAY HANDS-ON
*The 2023 course date will be announced soon.
3D imaging in contemporary dentistry has dramatically transformed our workflow and efficiency. We can now generate complex imaging easily and routinely using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology. This modality has allowed us to see more, and to understand more. And yes, we are actually doing more as a direct result. Virtually all disciplines including Implant dentistry, endodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, and orthodontics are utilizing this technology together with comprehensive digital workflows. Many clinicians now own a CBCT device or have easy access to one.
As end-users of this new technology, we must understand how to interpret the data, and how to utilize the data to the fullest extent. Due to the nature of the imaging technology, we veer into unintended areas or anatomy, and many times, we do face the liability of interpreting areas that we may not be experts in. This program is two days in length, and significant time will be devoted to a practical workshop whare participants will be working “hands-on” actual cases for interpreting data and also generating a surgical guide for simple and complex cases.
