CBCT Masterclass (Level 1 & Level 2)

Hands-on CBCT training for modern dental practice

CBCT is now part of everyday dentistry—not just implants. This long-running CBCT Masterclass (established in 2015) is designed to help dental professionals confidently justify CBCT examinations and interpret scans, combining essential theory with a practical, in-person reporting experience.

Delivered by Dr. Jimmy Makdissi (Clinical Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant in Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology at Barts and The London), the programme brings together structured online learning and hands-on interpretation to support safe, confident decision-making in modern dental imaging.
