Understanding CBCT (Cone beam computed tomography) for Implant Dentistry
2 modules: 12 lessons
Duration: 13 h 6 min
The course consists of two modules:
Module 1: 3 lessons.
This part of the course will move your 3D diagnostic skills in the area of implant dentistry to the next level. Review the systems and anatomy viewed on a CBCT scan one structure at a time using radiographic images and graphic representations. Understand clinical relevance of each anatomic structure along with how variations of these structures can affect the your diagnosis and treatment plan.
Speaker: Dania Tamimi
Module 2: 9 lessons.
As dentists we use imaging every day in our offices to help refine our clinical treatment decisions. Now there’s an amazing, low-cost, effective CT modality for dentistry. But do you understand it? Dr. Miles presents principles and applications of dentistry’s newest and most advanced imaging technology: cone beam. He reviews CBCT images like you’ve never seen before. This part of the course will build your confidence for reviewing your cone beam data sets.
Speakers: Nitish Surathu, Dale Miles, Tony Mecham, Onur Kadioglu, James Mah, Neal Patel, James Mah
