About this training
Content
Great focus has been given to radiolucent periapical lesions, yet a significant number of well defined radiopaque lesions occur in the jaws and hold equal relevance for endodontic and general dental practice. These lesions may be neoplastic, dysplastic, or metabolic in origin. Widespread use of cone-beam CT now supports a detailed review of radiopaque inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions to aid differential diagnosis. Distinguishing between inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions simplifies diagnosis and helps clinicians select the correct therapeutic regimen. This webinar examines the clinical, radiographic, histological, and management aspects of radiopaque lesions encountered in the jaws and illustrates their differential diagnoses. After completing the activity, participants will be able to review the differential diagnosis and pathophysiology of radiopaque lesions most commonly found in the jaws, recognize their imaging features and clinical symptomatology, and discuss characteristic imaging features of odontogenic and non-odontogenic lesions around tooth roots along with treatment recommendations.
Goals
