How CBCT Transforms Diagnosis and Treatment in Endodontics

Learning Objectives:

  • To understand the fundamental principles of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and its applications in dentistry, including its role in three-dimensional imaging.
  • To recognize the clinical scenarios where CBCT is most beneficial for precise diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry, enabling improved patient outcomes.
  • To demonstrate the ability to integrate CBCT findings into treatment planning, considering patient-specific factors, to optimize treatment decisions and enhance the quality of dental care.

Specific Objective:

By the end of this lecture, participants will be able to identify specific clinical cases in dentistry where the use of CBCT technology significantly improves the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning.
