This presentation will examine common findings that are encountered in implant radiographic studies, including panoramic and cone-beam CT images. The findings range from what could typically be considered normal, to potentially life-threatening conditions. Findings may or may not impact implant treatment. Both intraosseous pathology and commonly-found opacities in soft tissue will be covered.
Learning Objectives: At the completion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
1. Recognize normal variations of the alveolar bone and surrounding anatomy
2. Identify local factors that influence the decision and/or ability to place an implant
3. Differentiate between findings that are innocuous and those that require referral
4. Analyze commonly occurring opacities in soft tissues
The complete presentation is approximately 60 minutes in length and at this time does not qualify for CE credit.
