Course Description
Treatment planning is the most important aspect of implant dentistry. Radiography is a vital part of the planning process and technology has made this planning process much more accurate. 2-dimensional (2D) images have inherent limitations that can result in incorrect and/or incomplete diagnosis and treatment planning. CT technology has brought the power of 3-dimensional (3D) imagining to the dental office. Dentists now have another tool available for more accurate diagnosis and treatment. CBCT has many uses in the dental and surgical practice which can enhance precision of implant placement, help in diagnosis, reduce procedural times, and promote faster patient recovery.
