CBCT Crash Course
Incorporating CBCT into the dental practice opens the door to enhanced diagnostic and treatment planning capabilities. Additionally, recognizing potential pathoses in the jaws and neighboring structures is essential when evaluating CBCTs. This course will provide a strong foundation in understanding 2D vs. 3D for different clinical applications, anatomy, and tips for reviewing CBCT scans. Various radiographic findings in the jaws, sinuses, and airway will also be discussed.
Objectives
- Discuss benefits of 3D imaging for different clinical applications and review potential pitfalls of 2D imaging. Indications for 3D imaging and radiation dose will also be discussed
- Identify anatomic landmarks in CBCT
- Develop a roadmap for how to review CBCT scans
- Learn about incidental findings in 3D imaging. Normal and pathological findings in the jaws, sinuses, and airway will be discussed
- Discuss legal-ethical considerations of 3D imaging in dentistry
