CBCT in Endodontics: Manipulating, Reading, Interpreting & Diagnosing Endodontic Cases

Prof. Dr. Marcel Noujeim

  • Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has become an essential diagnostic imaging tool in endodontic practice. The small-volume/high-resolution 3D imaging volumes of the jaws provide endodontists with greater diagnostic accuracy for dental and radicular morphology and both tooth and bone related pathology when compared to regular intraoral digital 2D imaging.

    Because the use of CBCT imaging provides clinicians with a greater degree of confidence in detection of anatomic variations and pathology, it acts as an important clinical decision support tool in that it provides valuable information on when to treat, how to treat and, just as importantly when not to treat.

    Endodontics starts to occupy a large part of the oral and maxillofacial radiology private practice as more and more endodontists are using the maxillofacial radiologists service for diagnosing and treatment planning a large percentage of their cases.

    The audience are asked to bring their laptops, the presenter will provide the group with a software and multiple interesting endodontic cases from his own practice, the cases will be presented by the audience and discussed one by one among the group in a friendly and extremely educational environment.
