Course Overview

This course is an opportunity for the entire practice to learn basic principles of CBCT imaging in dentistry and why CBCT is such a valuable adjunct in our patients treatment today. This pre-symposium course will provide a general overview of the imaging process through “hands-on” experience reviewing several patient CBCT cases. Your practice will learn uses of software and become competent in the reconstruction of images in multiple planes with cross-sectional images of anatomy and incidental variants.

Participants will learn a variety of everyday patient cases, including TMJ and ortho/OMS cases. In addition, protocols in treatment planning to surgical guide fabrication will be explained. Each practice attending is encouraged to bring up to two cases to review. Please ensure the practice has informed consent from the patient.*
