CBCT provides the image accuracy and proper visualization, allowing you to see much more than a panoramic or cephalometric image, thus improving diagnosis and treatment planning.

Learning Objectives:
 • Understand the value of 3D CBCT for the pediatric and orthodontic patients.
 • Learn how to explore systematically CBCT 3D information maximizing ortho/pedo diagnosis and treatment planning.
