With all of the innovations available to dentists today, educating ourselves on how technology works and fits in with our goals keeps our practices vital. American scientist Marvin Minsky once said, “You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way.”
As a general dentist, I don’t always need the same information as a specialist, but I still want to be able to make the best diagnostic decisions. For example, when I discovered Cone Beam imaging was an option for my office, I researched the technology--how it works; the fields of view available, and the safety issues related to radiation exposure.
