Innovative 3D Imaging: The practicality and integration of 3D radiographic imaging in practice.

As various large-scale studies regarding subantral crest heights in the common population prove, almost two thirds of patients in need of dental implants in maxillary premolar and molar sites cannot be treated with short implants.

Diagnosing and treatment planning correctly dental and oral procedures involving anatomic variations is among the key factors for a successful outcome.

Over the years, many technologies have been developed and evolved to aid this aim. Cone-Bean CT scans are slowly becoming the standard of care in the fields of Implantology, endodontics and oral-maxillo-facial surgery.

This dental webinar will aim to demystify the uncertainty and anxiety some clinicians may still have as to whether or not to become involved with this technology. It will discuss the various utilizations of this technology in daily practice when there is an indication for it.

A brief description through clinical cases will highlight the different uses of CBCT scan in general practice with discussion around existing evidence in the literature.

The aim of the webinar is:

• to highlight the benefits of CBCT scans in practice
• to compare CBCT vs. 2D radiographic imaging
• when to take or not to take a CBCT scan
• dose options for various clinical needs
• predictability vs. working “in the dark”
