CBCT
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used for three-dimensional dental and maxillofacial imaging. This course provides an introduction to the subject for dentists and DCPs with radiological training, and the time spent counts towards Level 1 CBCT training.
The aim of the learning and teaching materials in this course is to allow learners to develop their professional knowledge and understanding of Cone Beam Computed Tomography, in line with their identified personal development requirements.
The CBCT online learning module has clear and concise aims, objectives and anticipated outcomes, listed below. These will appear on the Dentaljuce Enhanced CPD Certificate, along with the time spent, dates, and detailed topics you studied within the module. Certificates can be printed at any time, covering any range of dates. Dentaljuce CPD complies with the UK GDC's requirements for enhanced verifiable continuing professional development.
Before starting this module, check that the learning outcomes are what you require, and that you have entered the need into your PDP. Here is an example PDP entry for this module.
