Receive guidance on the best practices in Cone Beam CT imaging in dentistry including recommended imaging protocols, reviewing and reporting expectations, universal viewer software strategies, and hands-on interpretation of teaching cases.
Computers with Romexis (Planmeca) Viewing Software Provided which will be preloaded with ideal cases from Dr. Gaalaas personal practice. These cases will help you gain comfort in creating a step by step protocol for reviewing CBCT's and knowing when you have a routine pathology that can be managed vs. when sending your CBCT into a radiologist for further evaluation would be indicated.
