Abstract
The use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has proven to be a valuable adjunct to the management of patients who present with complex orthodontic malocclusions.
Three-dimensional imaging allows the spatial relationship of the dentition, the surrounding anatomy, and any possible associated pathology to be accurately assessed and appreciated.
The pre-treatment clinical records of different complex orthodontic cases, requiring combinations of orthodontic, restorative, and surgical intervention will be shared, assessed, and discussed.
The range of possible treatment approaches for each case will be explored, and the added value of reviewing the relevant CBCT scans will also be highlighted and considered.
The aim is for this session to be practical and clinically focused. The session will be interactive, engaging and stimulating. Active participation from attendees and the sharing of ideas and experiences regarding the management of complex orthodontic cases will be encouraged.
