Imagine a dental office using simple-to-use, advanced digital-imaging technologies designed to aid staff members in enhancing the accuracy and precision of treatment while minimizing patient discomfort and pain.
Dental imaging advancements are changing the way dentists examine and diagnose patients. For example, CT scans enable dentists to visually slice through any part of a patient’s jaw and see greater detail than traditional 2D radiographs, said Dr. Jeffrey J. Sitterle, founding director of Georgia Institute of Technology’s DentalTechnologyCenter.
“You can create 3D models to visualize the patient’s anatomy and occlusion so it’s a combination of both diagnostics in function and diagnostics in anatomy and physiology,” Sitterle said.
DenTeC’s Dental Imaging, Diagnostics, and Treatment Planning seminar, on Nov. 17-18, 2006, at the GeorgiaTech Global Learning Center in Atlanta, will guide you in making the right imaging and diagnostic technology purchasing decisions for your practice needs. Also learn what the products are truly designed to do, as well as gain useful information to achieve a higher return on technology investments.
Drs. Allan G. Farman and Scott Benjamin, Drs. Jeffrey J. Sitterle and Valerie B. Sitterle, and Ms. Jennifer McDonald provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in dental imaging. Topics include diagnostic technologies used in caries and oral cancer detection, imaging technologies used in diagnostics and treatment planning, achieving diagnostic quality images, and five steps to increase your return on investment.
