Question for the dentists:

Been thinking about building something for dentists who are newer to CBCT and still trying to get comfortable with it. I actually already have the basic framework built.

One thing I see fairly often is that many doctors buy a CBCT, but still feel uncertain about:

• when CBCT is actually indicated

• how to choose the right field of view

• when high resolution matters vs when it probably doesn’t

• artifacts, how they present, and what to do about them

• how to navigate through a volume for various indications

• how to use CBCT responsibly without overusing it

The idea wouldn’t be “AI diagnoses" or how to interpret what you're looking at.

It would be more of a practical guidance tool that helps doctors understand use cases, acquisition decisions, navigation, and common interpretation pitfalls using real-world clinical scenarios and conversational guidance.

Some of the more advanced features would likely require a very small subscription cost because the back end relies on LLM processing, but the goal would be to keep it inexpensive and genuinely useful.

I’m curious:

Would something like this actually be valuable to you or your office?

If so, what part of CBCT has been the hardest to get comfortable with?
