ACDE Webinar Series
The Association for Continuing Dental Education (ACDE), along with 37 of its member schools, is jointly providing a series of live webinars. This series features university-based key opinion leaders presenting numerous topics on multiple dates and times. Presentations are available to meet every dental professional’s schedule and interests.
Course Description
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has transformed dental imaging by providing three-dimensional views that enhance diagnosis and treatment planning across a wide range of maxillofacial conditions. However, its acquisition process differs fundamentally from conventional two-dimensional modalities, which often makes CBCT appear complex or intimidating. By demystifying CBCT protocols and focusing on task-specific acquisition strategies, clinicians can maximize the diagnostic value of this technology while minimizing radiation exposure, fully embracing the ALADA principle. The result is safer imaging for patients and smarter decisions for clinicians.
-
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Differentiate CBCT acquisition processes from conventional two-dimensional imaging techniques.
- Identify and apply CBCT scan protocols appropriate for various clinical scenarios in dentistry.
- Implement the ALADA principle to ensure patient safety without compromising diagnostic quality.
- Apply quality criteria in CBCT acquisition to optimize diagnostic interpretation.
