Ten Radiologic Findings Every Dentist Should Know Ernest Lam, DMD, MSc, PhD, FRCD(C)
When you find an anomaly or abnormality on a radiologic image, do you attempt to investigate it yourself, or do you refer your patient to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, pathologist or radiologist for diagnosis? And when you receive the diagnosis, do you know what to do next? In this course, we will discuss the key radiologic features of 10 entities, some of which are commonly seen and others which are not. Some findings may be variants of normal anatomy or hamartomas that may not require attention, but others may be “true lesions” that require more urgent action. Learning Objectives: • Develop a systematic strategy for investigating a radiologic anomaly or abnormality • Identify the key radiologic features of common anomalies or abnormalities • Understand the urgency of a radiologic finding
