COURSE DESCRIPTION/ EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Cone beam CT technology is the radiology of the future. It is extremely helpful in diagnosing advanced dental problems. It is nearly the standard of care to be using this technology at this time in dentistry. This course will compare the older forms of radiology (Full mouth series, panorex) and Cone beam CT scans. It will assist dentists in learning to read this new technology. Dentists will learn to diagnose fractures and other advanced lesions on these scans.
Upon completion of this presentation, attendees will have the skills necessary to:
- Be aware of the history of CBCT imaging
