Imaging Sciences International and Gendex Dental Systems are once again hosting the fourth International Congress on 3-D Dental Imaging, which will be held in La Jolla, Calif., on June 25 and 26. Experienced clinicians and professionals will share their vast knowledge of where 3-D was in the past, where it is today and where it’s going in the future.

These leaders in education will also offer their expertise on the practical applications of this technology — how it actually works in the clinical environment.

Three-dimensional technology is already redefining outcomes across a broad spectrum of treatment options, including implants, bone grafting, oral surgery, orthodontics and endodontics. As it continues to build a reputation for facilitating efficiency, accuracy and detail in diagnosis and treatment, new applications are allowing clinicians to expand their treatment horizons and practices.

To meet the demand for education, the congress’ curriculum has been expanded yet again this year to include topics ranging from basic information to detailed clinical use and hands-on training with 3-D planning software programs.

During the two-day symposium, attendees will gain insight into the different field-of-view options for various specialties, get advice on legal issues and marketing opportunities — and get a peek into the future possibilities of cone beam.

In addition to the seminars, a variety of vendors will display supporting 3-D products, such as imaging, implant and restorative systems, as well as 3-D treatment-planning software.

Dr. John Flucke, leading dental technology expert and congress speaker, says: “3-D radiography allows clinicians a view into their patient’s anatomy that is more complete than any other traditional dental imaging modality. With all of the information captured by 3-D, it is extremely beneficial to learn all of the facts behind the technology and how it can be used to assist in treatment planning — from start to finish.”

The organizers of the congress are honored to host attendees who seek in-depth knowledge on this technology, knowledge that can place them at the forefront of their profession.

“I think we are quickly moving toward ‘the’ standard of care being CBCT scans in dental offices,” says Dr. John Graham, speaker at this year’s congress.

“The clinicians who attend the congress are looking to learn more about a technology that can help them advance patient care and that can set their practices apart. This program is where they will gain the information they need.”

This event promises to expand the knowledge of this imaging advancement and propel the industry’s implementation of the technology.

“We’ve learned from owners of 3-D radiography that they greatly benefit from integrating this groundbreaking technology,” says Henrik Roos, president of Imaging Sciences International and Gendex Dental Systems. “We are proud to be able to sponsor this comprehensive educational event that offers clinicians the opportunity to treat their patients more safely and grow their practices.”
