I can see only one jaw in Simplant

In Simplant Planner or Pro, please go to the “Plan” menu at the top of the screen and select either “Maxilla” or “Mandible”.

In Simplant View, only one jaw can be displayed, so you will need a different file to display the other jaw.

What training do I need to request a CBCT scan and interpret the results?

Most Imaging Centres will accept requests for new dental CT or CBCT scans from Registered Dentists with a Level 1 Certificate only. The Guidance Notes for Dental Practitioners on the Safe Use of X-ray Equipment provides useful training information on pages 61-62.

You should have received sufficient and appropriate training before referring your patient for a CT or CBCT scan. A number of providers including the British Dental Association (BDA) provide Core (Level 1) Training in Dental CBCT which is suitable for Referrers.

If you intend to evaluate the scan yourself (and record your findings in the patient’s notes) you will need additional training, such as the Level 2 course offered by the BDA. Level 2 courses are offered by Cavendish Imaging and a number of other providers also.
