1. 2D radiology program

​

AIM:

Introduce the participants to a systematic approach of the 2D diagnostic imaging aspects.

 

OBJECTIVES:

• Discuss the X-Ray techniques (analog, digital):

• Intra oral radiology.

• Extra oral radiology.

• Be aware of the errors of Intra-Oral Radiology

• Be aware of the errors of Extra-Oral Radiology

• Review the 2D radiographical anatomical landmarks (Maxilla and Mandible)

• Discuss the inclusion of prosthetic considerations in the complete treatment plan

• Careful assessment of available hard and soft tissues.

• Diagnosis and planning of surgical procedures 

• Assess the potential risks and complications to surgical procedures in variances to the average radiographic appearance

 

AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Successfully take 2D imaging

• Distinguish normal from abnormal radiographic appearances.

• Develop a differential diagnosis of the radiographic findings

• Use 2D imaging to formulate a proper diagnosis

• Use diagnostic adjuncts to clinically evaluate and overcome shortcomings in various imaging techniques

 

 2. 3D Radiology Program

​

AIM:

Introduce the participants to the value and limitations of various 3D imaging techniques in the dentist’s daily work.

 

OBJECTIVES:

• Discuss the 3D imaging techniques

• Computed tomography (CT)

• Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)

• Discuss the advantages and limitations of the 3D imaging techniques (CT, CBCT).

• Review the 3D radiographical anatomical landmarks (Maxilla and Mandible)

• Discuss the use and the manipulation of various 3D software.

• Introduction to the reading of three-dimensional radiological records.

• Introduction to the guided surgery

• Fabrication and utilization of the radiographic guide

• Transformation of the radiographic guide into a directional surgical guide

• Fabrication of the full surgical guide

• Introduction to the pre- and postoperative 3D diagnosis in:

• Dental implantology

• Periodontology

• Endodontics

 

 

AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Successfully manipulated 3D imaging software

• Successfully read and interpretation 3D imaging records

• Distinguish normal from abnormal radiographic appearances.

• Develop a differential diagnosis of the radiographic findings

• Use 3D imaging to formulate a proper diagnosis

• Use 3D imaging to realize a surgical guide
