Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has transformed dental imaging by providing three-dimensional views that enhance diagnosis and treatment planning across a wide range of maxillofacial conditions. However, its acquisition process differs fundamentally from conventional two-dimensional modalities, which often makes CBCT appear complex or intimidating. By demystifying CBCT protocols and focusing on task-specific acquisition strategies, clinicians can maximize the diagnostic value of this technology while minimizing radiation exposure, fully embracing the ALADA principle. The result is safer imaging for patients and smarter decisions for clinicians. ------------- Held in partnership with ACDE and 37 member dental schools as part of the 2026 Joint Provider Live Webinar Series.
