Setareh Lavasani, DDS, MS

Topic: Implant Dentistry
Tuition: $100.00
Credits: 2
AGD Number: 730 - Oral Medicine, Oral Diagnosis, Oral Pathology-Imaging Techniques
Recommended For:
Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants, Students, Educator

Description:

This hands-on CBCT program is designed for beginners who are looking   to develop confidence in navigating CBCT scans. Participants will focus on mastering the basic planes, views, and tools used to review and manipulate CBCT volumes efficiently. Through guided practice on real cases, attendees will learn how to properly orient images, adjust settings, and systematically explore the anatomy. This session is ideal for anyone new to CBCT technology who wants to build a strong technical foundation.

Learn:

• the basic principles of CBCT imaging, including voxel size, field of view, and scan orientation
• to identify and navigate the three primary planes (axial, coronal, sagittal) within a CBCT dataset
• to demonstrate the ability to manipulate CBCT views, including cross- sectional slicing, panoramic reconstruction, and 3D volume rendering
• to apply systematic techniques to explore and evaluate CBCT scans for clinical purposes with accurate orientation and image adjustments and interpretation

Topic: Implant Dentistry
Tuition: $100.00
Credits: 2
AGD Number: 690 - Implant Dentistry- Diagnosis/Treatment Planning for Implants
Recommended For:
Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants, Students, Spouse, Educator

Description:

This course provides a practical, hands-on approach to using CBCT imaging for effective and predictable implant treatment planning. Participants learn how to navigate CBCT volumes, assess critical anatomical structures and their variations, and evaluate bone quality and quantity for implant placement. Emphasis will be placed on systematic evaluation of jaw structures, precision, and clinical outcomes. This session is ideal for clinicians seeking to integrate CBCT confidently into their implant planning process.

Learn to:

• navigate CBCT datasets systematically for implant planning
• identify and evaluate key anatomical landmarks relevant to implant placement
• assess bone quality, volume, and spatial relationships using CBCT imaging
• apply structured CBCT workflows to improve the predictability of implant treatment outcomes

AGD Number: 730 - Oral Medicine, Oral Diagnosis, Oral Pathology-Imaging Techniques
Recommended For:
Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants, Students, Educator, Doctor

Description:

This course empowers clinicians to enhance their diagnostic capabilities through confident and systematic interpretation of CBCT scans. Participants will learn to identify key radiographic signs of significant pathologies, recognize common diagnostic findings, and apply a structured approach to interpretation. Special focus will be given to differentiating types of sinusitis and evaluating TMJ changes, with the goal of improving clinical accuracy and treatment planning.

Learn to:

• navigate CBCT scans using a consistent, systematic approach
• identify key radiographic signs of critical CBCT pathologies
• differentiate between various forms of sinusitis and TMJ abnormalities
• apply a structured interpretation framework to enhance diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making
