X-ray in dentistry: from analog to 3D methods
Everything a dentist needs to know about X-ray diagnostics - from intraoral radiography to CBCT - in one course!
After following this course, you will:
– Have a thorough understanding of the principles of intraoral radiography
– Be better skilled to recognize anatomy and pathology on CBCT and OPG images
– Be able to recognize positioning errors in panoramic radiography
– Differentiate artifacts from real images on CBCT.
After the course, you will be able to conduct a more accurate diagnosis, reduce the risks of a misdiagnosis, and provide your patients with a quality assurance of the treatment planning process.
