Continuing Education

Dr. Bruno C. Azevedo is a Board Certified oral & maxillofacial radiologist and is also known as “The Cone Beam Guy,” with his extensive experience in 3D imaging technologies in dentistry.

Course description:

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has become an essential imaging diagnostic tool in endodontics. There is an indisputable acceptance that 3D imaging is far superior diagnostically to 2D imaging. CBCT provides more information to the clinician regarding analyzing dental and peripheral anatomy and periapical and root pathologies. CBCT imaging also works as a scaffold for newly developed guided and dynamic navigation surgeries and is strongly recommended before using the new irrigation systems. CBCT imaging is also embraced in academics and is part of the educational curriculum of the next generation of endodontists.

Acquiring advanced knowledge to recognize the unknown is of paramount importance to advance the art and science of endodontics.

Learning objectives:

1. Describe 3D acquisition techniques so that you can improve root fracture interpretation.

2. Distinguish the three tomographic imaging patterns associated with vertical root fractures.

3. Apply the Ray Tracing technique to differentiate a root fracture from a Beam Hardening Artifact.

4. Improve your diagnostic imaging skills and become a better, more confident clinician.
