This course is suitable for all personnel involved with dental CBCT imaging dental nurses with a certificate in dental radiography, dental hygienists, dental therapists and dentists. You must have completed a 5-hour IRMER course within the last 5 years. Learning Outcomes: • The fundamentals of 3D imaging and dental CBCT radiography • The principles of radiological imaging • Radiation hazards and radiation protection • Referral criteria for 3D imaging • Regulations relating to dental CBCT imaging • Appreciation of the different diagnostic yield but increased hazards presented by dental CBCT imaging in comparison with conventional 2D imaging • Understanding how to optimise patient doses from dental CBCT for the specific imaging task and how to avoid unnecessary exposure • Recognition of 3D anatomy sufficiently to correctly localise both small and large volume CBCT scans and to make an initial assessment of the image to confirm correct positioning and diagnostic value (e.g., freedom from artefacts etc.). Limited to imaging of the dento-alveolar region only. Prior to taking CBCT images you will then need to go on to take a Level 2 Training for Operators Performing Dental CBCT Imaging course. This will need to be a practical course at the place where the CBCT machine is situated by a system specialist, the installer or by another suitably trained person at the dental practice.
