The value of adequate imaging in dentistry and the significance of appropriate radiographic interpretation knowledge are the focus of the September 2022 issue of the Journal of the California Dental Association. Articles discuss applications of CBCT as part of diagnosis and treatment planning in implant digital workflow and orthodontics along with “novel” applications of CBCT in endodontics as an adjunct modality with dynamic navigation in the management of calcified canals.
“This issue of the Journal highlights the importance of advanced imaging, interpretation skills and the synergistic collaboration between general dentists and specialist colleagues in improving diagnosis, treatment planning and patient outcomes,” said Kerry K. Carney, DDS, editor-in-chief of the Journal.
Articles in the September issue include:
