Oral and maxillofacial radiology

Radiologic methods of research are leading in the diagnosis of diseases of the maxillofacial region, which is due to their reliability and informativeness.

[9][10] For example, the CBCT scanning protocol is a valuable examination tool in oral and maxillofacial radiology and is available in dental offices because of its ease of use.

Radiological methods are also in demand in maxillofacial surgery in the diagnosis of traumatic injuries, inflammatory diseases, cysts, tumors and other pathological conditions.

[16] Currently, the only Australian institution offering specialist training in oral maxillofacial radiology is the University of Queensland.

[17][18] Programs in the United Kingdom are 4 years in length and culminate in a Certificate in Completion of Specialty Training and often a Master of Science degree.
