Program
Dr. Majewski
Many dental offices already have, or will soon convert to, digital radiography. Learning about the different systems and re-learning how to diagnose dental disease utilizing the available technology may prove to be a challenge for dental professionals. This program will provide a review of digital radiographic technologies available, how the systems function, including advantages/disadvantages. During the latter part of the program, an emphasis will be placed on the challenges of diagnosis using digital radiographs and the various digital enhancements. Presentation will include multiple cases, in primary and permanent dentitions, comparing digital radiographic images to clinical photographs.
Dr. Monahan
CBCT: more than a Panoramic, less than a Panacea
Advantages, disadvantages, clinical applications and common misconceptions about conebeam volumetric technology will be presented. CBCT will be contrasted with more traditional imaging systems including CT, MRI and standard projection radiography. Acquisition, manipulation, interpretation and third-party software will be discussed in light of their contributions to diagnostic yield. The objective of this presentation is to educate and reinforce the participation’s appreciation of the diagnostic armamentarium currently available.
CBCT and The Law: Facts, Myths and Misconceptions
Aspects of radiology will be discussed from a legal-clinical perspective so the practitioner can appreciate the rights and obligations involved in the prescription, acquisition and interpretation of diagnostic images.
