[Oradlist] CBCT question

[SDGIMPLANT at aol.com]

I agree.  A CBCT is a far superior tool for identifying the  potential 
pathology than any panoramic radiograph...

Hi Lisa,

I think this case is  an excellent example of a good indication for CBCT.  
One cannot pass on  this on the basis on the pan alone.  CBCT will define and 
locate the  entity clearly, at lower radiation and financial cost than medical  
CT.

Dear Colleagues,  Now that I have a CBCT it seems that I am asked everyday if 
someone  could have one just because it would be cool. The attached Pan shows 
a  well-defined radiopacity in the left maxillary sinus area…possible  
osteoma/exostosis…ginormous antrolith. My question is can a CBCT be  justified in a 
case like this?  (Obviously the CBCT would show the  exact location)  Thanks, 
Lisa
