Advanced CBCT Analysis On-Demand

Course Type: Electives

This on-demand Advanced CBCT course expands on concepts introduced in the CBCT Interpretation course and provides a more detailed review of CBCT scan evaluation, anatomy, software tools, and advanced anatomical findings.

The course reviews methods for using CBCT scans to evaluate normal and abnormal anatomy, with attention to findings that may be relevant when reviewing complex cases, including patients with TMD-related concerns. Topics include anatomical orientation, image review, scan interpretation, and the evaluation of structures that may influence treatment planning considerations.

This course includes advanced Romexis use, including superimposition, panoramic review, TMJ review, SCIG Line, 3D review, advanced measurements, and related image review tools. Participants will also review anatomical findings related to the ear region, carotid and cerebral sinus areas, cranial calcifications, Eustachian tube identification, cranial foramina, trigeminal branch compression, hyoid angulation, osteomeatal complex patency, and other advanced head and neck structures.

Additional discussion includes differential considerations involving carotid calcifications, tonsil stones, stylohyoid ligament calcifications, thyrohyoid calcifications, cavernous carotid calcifications, interclinoid calcifications, and the pituitary region. Updated information acquired since the CBCT Interpretation course is also included.
