CBCT in Endodontics

Welcome to our course on the dental application of CBCT in endodontics. This advanced imaging technique is very important for dental professionals as it enhances diagnostic accuracy and improves treatment outcomes in endodontics.

This course is for dentists and DCPs with radiological training, and the time spent counts towards Level 1 CBCT training, and Level 2 (interpretation of images) training.

CBCT, or Cone Beam Computed Tomography, revolutionises the way we view dental structures, offering 3D imaging that surpasses traditional radiography. This allows for a more precise assessment of root canal anatomy and better management of endodontic cases.

This course is specifically designed for dentists, dental professionals, and students to gain comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in using CBCT for endodontics.

The course focuses on understanding the radiological principles of CBCT, including image acquisition, dose optimisation, and 3D data interpretation. It aims to provide a thorough understanding of how CBCT can be integrated into endodontic practice to enhance patient outcomes while minimising radiation exposure.

We look into the limitations of traditional radiography, the advantages of CBCT in diagnosing complex root canal anatomy, and the best practices for safe and effective CBCT use in endodontics.

By the end of this course, you will be able to improve your diagnostic accuracy, optimise treatment planning, and ensure patient safety in your endodontic practice.

If you're not yet a member of Dentaljuce, we highly recommend you to join and gain access to this comprehensive course.

This course, along with over 100 other CPD courses, is available for a single membership payment.
