UP HOSTS FIRST COURSE ON CBCT IN CAMBODIA

UP recently hosted a 1-day course on Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) which also included lectures on digital and panoramic radiography. The lecturer was Professor Phrabhakaran Nambia, Specialist in Oral Maxillofacial Radiology, from MAHSA University in Malaysia. The course was attended by dentists, trainee oral maxillofacial (OMF) trainees, and dental students from 3 universities. Professor Phrabha gave a detailed and well-illustrated talk about how CBCT works, indications for use, and how images can be manipulated and interpreted. The number of CBCT machines is rising in Cambodia, as they have important applications in areas such as implant surgery, third molar surgery, orofacial trauma and OMF pathology. UP itself is planning to purchase a CBCT machine in 2020, which will help us to provide the highest quality dental services to our patients as well as excellent training for our students.
