DCEdental: the largest online dental CE directory in the world

Digital Radiology saves time, money and effort, improving the flow of information in and outside the dental office. Patients are pleased with the decreased dose of ionizing radiation and ability to view radiographs almost immediately. Office staff is pleased with the reduced need for handling chemicals and cleaning processors. Recently, a new class of Head and Neck CT/Dental CT was introduced - Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) or Cone Beam Volumetric Tomography (CBVT), the technology makes advanced 3D imaging available to the dental profession. Images produced are useful in diagnostic and treatment-planning situations including implant placements, orthodontic analysis and viewing impacted third molars. The course will provide an introduction to Cone Beam Technology,some examples of applications, and basic interpretation of these images.

Digital Radiology using CCD/CMOS wired sensors and PSP wireless sensors: Comparison of wired and wireless systems. Networking and telecommunication. Integration with office data management systems. Technical issues of image resolution, file size, storage, and compatibility.

Digital Photography is a perfect match for the modern practice. Pre- and post-operative photographs of esthetic cases, oral lesions, and communications with laboratories and specialists are discussed. Necessary equipment and techniques for expert results, as well as post-capture optimization of images will be taught.

Digital Photography equipment from "need it" to "want it:" Intra and Extraoral photographs. Lighting and best image formats. Post-capture optimization. Integration with practice management software. Communication with your photographs. As dentistry transitions from film-based to the digital world, conversion of images into a digital format becomes essential. High-resolution Scanners and Imaging Software are the keys to successfully bridging this gap.
