In this interactive lecture we’ll review some challenging cases, discuss a helpful strategy to arrive at a differential diagnosis when you find an abnormality, as well as some diagnostic tips and tricks you can apply when doing your own interpretations to avoid common pitfalls. You will also learn how working with an Oral Maxillofacial Radiologist (OMR) can benefit your practice, when to refer to an OMR (Hint: I’m NOT going to recommend everyone send every scan to a radiologist), and finally, how to establish and optimize a relationship with an OMR.

Be able to apply diagnostic tips and tricks to avoid pitfalls commonly encountered in radiographic interpretation
How to arrive at a differential diagnosis if a radiological abnormality is discovered
