Practical Applications of CBCT in Endodontic Practice
CE Hours: 2.0 CE hour
Description: CBCT scanners have become commonplace in the modern endodontic practice, yet controversy remains regarding when to capture a scan. Current guidelines can leave room for individual interpretation. Information available on the cone beam scan can significantly impact decision making and aid in the treatment approach. It is being suggested here that a cone bean scan should be captured 100% of the time on all treatment cases. This presentation is designed to demonstrate the advantages and applications of cone beam scanning for the purposes of leveraging this information during clinical treatment.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Explain the use of CBCT imaging in 100% on treatment cases
- Identify common barriers that prevent clinicains from capturing scans on 100% of thier patients
- Explain specific techniques to improve clinical efficiency based on information available on the CBCT scan
