CBCT Scan Interpretation: Guidelines for Reviewing and Reporting Findings (Online on demand)
About this event
This online continuing education course provides dentists with a systematic, stepwise approach to examining cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans in clinical practice. Instructor Dr. Dale A. Miles presents comprehensive guidelines for optimizing scan image quality and methodically reviewing scan data to identify and report findings accurately.
The course is designed for general dentists and specialists who regularly interpret CBCT images in their practices and seek to improve their diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Participants will learn a structured examination protocol that can be adopted and integrated into daily clinical workflows, regardless of the CBCT system used in their office.
The educational content addresses the technical aspects of CBCT imaging, image optimization strategies, and systematic review methodologies that reduce the risk of missing clinically significant pathology or anatomical variations. This approach is particularly valuable for dentists involved in implant planning, orthodontic assessment, oral surgery case evaluation, and endodontic diagnosis. The course covers practical guidelines for generating accurate diagnostic reports that communicate findings clearly to referring practitioners and patients.
By the end of this course, participants will have developed competency in a standardized CBCT interpretation process that enhances their diagnostic capability and professional credibility. The one-hour format allows busy practitioners to complete the course at their own pace while earning continuing education credits. This course addresses a critical gap in dental education, as many practitioners received limited formal training in CBCT interpretation during their initial dental education.
