FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

01 What exactly will I learn in this course if I’m already familiar with CBCT basics?

Even if you’ve been exposed to CBCT, this course dives deeper into the clinical interpretation, workflow integration, and software tools specific to digital dentistry. You’ll gain practical skills in case-based reading, digitally guided treatment planning, and how to link CBCT data with surgical, endodontic, orthodontic, and implant planning — something most basic courses don’t cover comprehensively.

02 Is the course more theoretical or hands-on?

This course places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, especially with CBCT interpretation software. You’ll not only attend interactive lectures but also receive individualized software training and participate in real-case digital workflow demonstrations. The idea is to ensure that you leave not just informed, but confident in applying digital tools in your daily dental practice.

03 I’ve never used CBCT software before. Will this course still be suitable for me?

Absolutely. This course is tailored to accommodate dentists who are either new to CBCT or looking to bridge gaps in their digital dentistry skills. From image acquisition to interpretation, every step is explained clearly, with faculty support to help you navigate the software tools at a comfortable pace.

04 What kind of software or tools will I be trained on?

You’ll be introduced to leading CBCT interpretation and planning software, often used in implantology, endodontics, surgical planning, and orthodontics. Training includes navigation, measurement tools, annotation, pathology spotting, and guided treatment simulation, so you understand both the technical and clinical utility of the tools.

05 Is this course useful if I don’t do implants or complex surgeries in my practice?

Yes. While implant planning is one key focus, CBCT and digital tools have applications across general dentistry, especially in diagnosis, pathology detection, endodontic planning, and even improving patient education. You’ll learn how to integrate CBCT into routine diagnostics, which can enhance your overall case acceptance and treatment accuracy.

06 Will I receive a certificate, and is it recognized for practice or professional development?

Yes, upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of participation, endorsed by experienced faculty and a reputed dental training body. While it’s not a license, the certificate strengthens your profile and helps in professional credibility, especially for those integrating digital radiology and planning into clinical care.

07 Can this course help me improve patient communication or case conversions?

Certainly. With the ability to visually explain findings from CBCT scans and demonstrate digitally planned treatments, you’ll find it easier to build trust with patients, enhance their understanding of the procedure, and ultimately improve case acceptance and treatment compliance.

08 Is there any post-course support or access to learning materials?

Participants will be given reference materials, case templates, and reading resources to support continued learning. Faculty guidance is also available for a limited period after the course for clarification on software use or clinical applications, fostering smooth post-course implementation.

09 Will this course include clinical cases or simulated scenarios?

Yes, the course includes real-case demonstrations, covering step-by-step workflows from scan acquisition to treatment simulation. These cases are carefully selected to highlight common clinical applications across dental disciplines, making the experience relatable and immediately useful.

10 I’m currently a general practitioner without access to CBCT. Will this course still be relevant?

Yes. Understanding CBCT interpretation and digital workflow is essential even if you refer out imaging. This course will help you read and understand CBCT reports confidently, communicate more effectively with specialists, and co-plan treatments where digital imaging is involved — giving you an edge in interdisciplinary practice.
