Presented by Mitra Sadrameli, DMD, MS

Credit: 1.5 CE hours

Course Description

The topics discussed in this presentation will include the foundations of multidimensional CBCT imaging, including pitfalls such as various artifacts that may mimic disease and a brief discussion on strategies for interpreting the images. The second half will be devoted to implant-related considerations, treatment planning, and how CBCT images can help identify surgical complications before the surgical appointment.

Learning Objectives

After this course, participants will understand:

  • Recognize common artifacts, avoid them, and correctly interpret them.
  • Recognize manifestation of pathology in CBCT images.
  • Be able to review scans for implant-related surgical treatment planning.
