Computer Diagnostic Techniques for the Dentist– 2 day course
This
course is designed to introduce the General and Specialist Dentist to a
range of valuable computer diagnostic equipment available to them today.
Our goal is to teach you to interpret and use the diagnostic equipment and the information it provides whether you own the diagnostic equipment or not. You don’t need to own a MRI to be able to use one! (But it would be nice, eh?)
If you have the equipment, this course will provide intensive training on what your machine will do, as well as thorough diagnostic interpretation skills on many of the pieces of equipment available. Even if you do not have any equipment yet, you can still benefit from the valuable information it provides. You can simply refer the patient to one of the many clinics with it, and then receive the results back with a report, or ready for your own interpretation and treatment.
