Program Description: Cone Beam technology has brought the power of 3D imaging into the dental office. CT-Guided dental implant planning and surgical techniques are far superior to traditional 2-dimensional imaging and "freehand" placement of dental implants. This results in a less invasive surgical procedure, awareness of anatomical challenges ahead of time, increased precision of implant placement, reduced surgical time, and enhanced patient recovery.

Course Outline:
- Introduction to 3D CT volumetric implant treatment planning.
- Discussion of shortcomings of traditional implant planning and surgical guides.
- A few cases where preoperative 3D imaging would have been beneficial.
- Introduction to implant planning software and workflow.
- Presentation of a variety of Guided Implant Surgery cases.
- The merging of Cone Beam CT and dental CAD/CAM technology.
