“To 3D or Not to 3D, Is That the Question?”

Lecture Synopsis:
The digital volumetric tomography era has begun, and we now have access to significant additional diagnostic information. This presentation will show how CBCT is changing the way we practice, and show how Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) is extracting and using volumetric tomograms for orthodontic reasons. From posterior buccolingual inclination to surface area analysis and volumes, Dr. Palomo will show current CWRU's protocols and recommendation on when and how to use this 3D imaging modality that is quickly becoming part of the orthodontic practice.
