Course Description

Morning Course
Cone Beam CT imaging has revolutionized the way we visualize the maxillofacial region. This half day lecture is designed for
dentists who are intrested in utilizeing CBCT imaging for patient management and/or seeking to gain a higher level
skill set in interpretation and application. We will review the principles of CBCT technology and methods to achieve maximally diagnostic imaging. In addition, the lectures will cover radiographic anatomy, artifacts and signs of pathology.

Afternoon Course
The work of the oral health provider is more important than ever due to global trends and the alarming rise in oral cancer incidence rates. Oral health professionals have the opportunity to notice mucosal changes that may be pre-cancerous or cancerous, make the patient aware of it and that discovery may save patients’ lives. Oral health professionals can make a difference in a world so in need of difference makers. This course will raise the oral health professional’s awareness of cultural and social oral habits. Knowledge of the use of these oral habits is integral in understanding the adverse effects on people’s oral health, human wellness and global health. The course illustrates how geographically remote populations with their unique habits can have a profound effect on local dental practices as populations immigrate worldwide. This global connection and knowledge transfer of what and how oral habits affect oral cancer, disease prevention and oral health can be promoted as a component of overall health.
