CBCT and traumatology
CBCT-based diagnosis of trauma cases
Present state-of-the-art cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) units produce excellent high resolution because of their low cost, high resolution and relatively low radiation burden.
The use of CBCT imaging has expanded to include not only dental-related specialties, but also broader medical specialties such as maxilla-facial surgery, ENT, plastic surgery, orthopedics. One area in which CBCT imaging adds relevant information at low radiation and financial costs is the diagnosis of fractures in the maxilla-facial area. The purpose of this webinar is to show the advantages of CBCT imaging in diagnosis, treatment planning and long-termed treatment outcome evaluation of trauma cases.
Learning Objectives:
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the modality of choice evaluating facial traumas, identifying and characterizing fractures and associated complications in detail, as well as evaluating the surgical outcome.
