This licensing course is open to Dentists, Dental Academics, Oral Health Therapists and Hygienists, and Dental Assistants (with Certificate IV in Dental Assistance Radiography – copy required). Candidates can register for either this course or both (CBCT Radiography Licensing Course).

The Cone beam licensing course will be held in the afternoon. The CPD points associated with each course would be 6 making a total 12 CPD points if both courses are registered for.

There will be practice sessions for both the courses and practical demonstration would be provided on a live patient or mannequin. There will be open book written examination for both the courses (30 minutes each) and will be marked by Dr Amar Sholapurkar.

The examination is for those who are willing to obtain their licenses.

Delegates who already have their licenses can still appear for both courses and obtain 12 CPD points and sit (but not mandatory) for the open book written examination if they wish.
