Description
The advent of CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) has revolutionized dental imaging. Most dental clinics that perform surgical procedures employ CBCT in their practice. The image acquisition is mostly performed by the hygienists and dental assistants. It is important to recognize that the dose from CBCT is almost four to eight times greater than that of a panoramic radiograph depending on the field of view and exposure parameters. The higher radiation dose also increases chances of radiation risk. Adolescent and pediatric populations are at greater risk than adults as they are undergoing active cellular growth and organ development. The machines, however, provide the operator with different technique modifications to reduce the dose. The image quality is another important aspect of the CBCT imaging. It is very important to maintain the highest quality of images for clinical tasks such as endodontic retreatments, minor oral surgical procedures and certain implant evaluation.
The participants of this course will have opportunity to work on CBCT machine at Ross McIntyre Digital Imaging Centre at the University of Manitoba, Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry. The participants will be taught how to optimize the dose and subtle technique modifications to avoid artifacts that are inherent to CBCT imaging.

Speaker(s)
Sunil Mutalik BDS, MS, MDS, FRCD (C)
Sessional Faculty, Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences
Dr. Sunil Mutalik received his bachelor’s degree from India in the year 2000 and Masters in Oral Medicine and Radiology with honors in 2006. He brings a decade of experience in oral radiology after having been a part of several prestigious institutions in Malaysia and India where he worked from 2006-2016. A devotion to oral radiology made him relocate to North America where he received certificate in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology and a Masters in Oral Diagnostic Sciences from University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, USA.
A fellow of Royal College of Dentists, Canada – FRCD (C) and Member of the Canadian and American associations of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Dr. Sunil Mutalik is renowned for his innovative approach to teaching. Evidence of this lies in the vast appreciation he had earned in Malaysia by promoting novel concepts of learning. The idea of using a game-based learning platform on a smartphone however different it may seem was implemented by him to promote e-learning.
Dr. Mutalik has been acclaimed by the medical fraternity for his insightful presentations at various conferences across the globe. He is also known for his scholarly articles on various topics in oral radiology and dental medicine which have appeared in several peer-reviewed dental radiology journals.
