Learning Content
In oral surgery, precise diagnosis and treatment planning are critical for preserving bone, minimizing complications, and improving patient outcomes. This lecture focuses on key radiographic findings on OPT that indicate the need for CBCT for oral surgical procedures. Additionally, we will explore how CBCT imaging combined with endoscopic techniques can optimize surgical intervention by reducing unnecessary bone removal and preserving vital structures.
- Learning Objectives:
- Recognize OPT signs requiring CBCT.
- Explain CBCT’s role in surgical planning.
- Describe how CBCT minimizes bone removal.
- Discuss CBCT-endoscopy integration.
- Apply imaging knowledge for better outcomes.
