In that same spirit, we want to invite you to register for the upcoming, updated two-day CBCT: Head and Neck Anatomy and Evaluation course (formerly Evaluating CBCT) November 17-18, 2022. Dr. Dickerson has and will continue to update the information that will be provided. This course dives deep into what one can learn via the power of Cone Beam technology, combined with the interpretive skills of an expert that you will learn in this program. There is so much information packed into this 2-day course that many alumni have taken it multiple times to digest the information fully. Contact your LVI concierge for this and other course details.

Head and Neck Anatomy

and Evaluation (CBCT)

with Dr. William G. Dickerson

November 17-18, 2022 (Thursday-Friday)

Everyone treating TMD patients should be having CBCT’s taken. This course is NOT just for those with a CBCT in their office. This course is designed to teach everyone to read and interpret CBCT’s whether they are done in the office or by a radiology center. It is considered by most to be the best head and neck anatomy course as well as you have to know the anatomy to know what normal is for diagnostic purposes. You will be presented with information to align the images, analyze the results and determine pathology. You will be shown normal anatomy so you can recognize abnormalities. Discover how to determine proper neck curvature, joint decompression and TMD related indicators. In this hands-on course you will work through a patient with a checklist to use on every scan you get or take in your office.

Advanced CBCT Analysis

with Dr. William G. Dickerson

November 19, 2022 (Saturday)

There was so much information in the CBCT Interpretation course that it was hard to digest it all. It’s why so many have taken the course several times. This course is for those people who want to be able to use the CBCT scans to their maximum potential and discern normal from abnormal. Many would like to be able to diagnose conditions that may negate TMD tx as well as determine causes of TMD and where best to make the orthotic bite. This one day course will explore advanced Romexis use like superimpose, panoramic mastery, tmj mastery, SCIG Line, 3D mastery and much more. We will also go over diagnosing ear issues, carotid and cerebral sinus issues, cranial calcifications and their importance in differential diagnosis, how to find the Eustachian tube, differential diagnosing between carotid calcification / tonsil stones / stylohyoid ligament calcifications / and thyrohyoid calcifications, differential diagnosing between cavernous carotid vs interclinoid calcifications vs pituitary tumor, Trigeminal branch compression, cranial foramen lesions, hyoid angulation (how alignment is important), determine osteomeatal complex patency, and all advanced measurements. Included will be all the new information acquired since you took the CBCT Interpretation Course and there is a lot. For those of you wanting to be physicians of the mouth, this course is a must.

Prerequisites: Head and Neck Anatomy and Evaluation Course (twice)

Feedback from Previous Attendees

"CBCT - Looking at anatomy can really be boring but Bill has found a way to actually make this REALLY interesting. It’s amazing what you can see when you know what the heck you are looking at. Now Planmeca has come up with an amazing offer for their Romexis software of only $500 compared to a normal $3500 or something like that. I came into the office this morning and had a CBCT to review with my system, Sidexis for the Sirona CBCT. It SUCKS. I can't see the stuff I'm looking for because the software isn't advanced enough. What an awesome course that just keeps getting better. Bill, great job on the course! EVERYONE gets this on your calendars."

Dr. Kevin Winters, Austin, TX

"I loved the advanced course today. So many cookies that filled in some blanks I had. I learned so much and definitely feel more comfortable navigating CTs. Fully understanding SCIG line and overlaying before and after is so important. I hope Bill does this course again and I hope that those who couldn't attend this time take advantage of it next time."

Joe Dewees, Las Vegas, NV

"Yeah, as I have said before, once the value to our patients of this learning is realized, the study becomes more like reading a great book.

I mean, this is very fascinating stuff.

Thanks, Bill, Jonathan, Joe and all of LVI."

Dr. Gordon Rye, Fairfax, VA

"I’m not going to go into detail.

It is a mistake...an error in judgement... to not take this course. We all need to take it for the sake of our patients.

Physicians will not be able to find what we find."

Dr. Timothy Gross, Hilton Head Island, SC

"Thanks Bill and the whole team, great two days. So awesome to be back on campus, nothing like it! See you all soon!"

Dr. Jess Santucci, Orinda, CA

"I just finished a full day (online) in the Advanced CBCT course. I have taken the CBCT course twice and this course tied up a lot of loose ends. There have been a lot of changes in our physiologic protocol and this course helped address those changes. Even online it was a great course. I learned a lot and want to encourage all you who are eligible to take this course. Thank you Bill!"

Dr. Michael Reece, Bryan, TX

"I want to thank Bill for an incredible 3 days. Yes, I took the course for the full 3 days. It was my third time taking the CT course and I definitely sharpened my skills to the highest level. The third day was integral for me.as at the end of day 2 I put a couple of my current patients up on the new Romexis software version 6 ( which is so good) and I got stumped with a couple of things. Thank god I did that because everything was reviewed and answered on Day 3. I was able to put it all together. Really important day for me. The depth of the course is insane. I close a lot of my cases because my patients think I am smart when reviewing their CT scan in front of them. The material is so intense that it blows away your patients by your knowledge of understanding their problem. CT interpretation makes clinical exams almost obsolete. You can really figure out what the problem really is with just the CT scan. Understand that I had limited knowledge of CT interpretation just a few years ago and now I feel like a top expert. My dental practice is now a CT centered practice as without it, I cannot treat patients. It is over and beyond invaluable if you want to be a competent physiologic dentist. Take the course and find out for yourself!!"

Dr. David Frey, Beverly Hills, CA

"After 2 cbct and now the advanced it’s finally starting to sink in...... definitely worth it."

Dr. Shauna Palmer, West Kelowna, BC

"Terrific course today! The day flew by and I came away with a much better understanding of some key items.

Specifics for me include:

-The SCIG line and specifically how to determine if a case needs maxillary remodeling to permit the mandibular position required for proper decompression.

-Superimposition of CBCT volumes to evaluate a myriad of outcomes, including post restorative challenges

-TMD advanced slicing and evaluation, particularly in the skull mode, so cool!

-Ear assessments and diagnostics

-Great concise review of the relevant anatomy and the use of the analysis sheet step by step

-Atlas effect on wellness particularly the effects of vascular and nerve (vagus) compression WOW! Thanks again as always so much value!! Take this course if you are eligible!"
