Incidentalomas: Recognizing and Managing Common Incidental CBCT Findings that Matter

This complimentary 60-minute webinar – presented jointly by AAOMS and the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission – will discuss the increased use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dentistry that has resulted in a higher incidence of unanticipated radiographic findings. While some of these findings are significant and require intervention, others can be safely monitored or simply recognized as anatomical variations. This webinar will provide a practical framework for OMSs to confidently evaluate, classify and manage incidental findings identified on CBCT scans. Through case-based examples, participants will learn to rapidly triage incidental findings to identify pathoses and differentiate them from anatomic variants. Attendees also will review clinical decision-making strategies to effectively document and manage incidental findings.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Identify common incidental findings on CBCT scans.
Develop a structured approach to triage incidental findings that require intervention, monitoring or no further management.
Effectively communicate management plans to referring providers.
