Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
In this course, students will continue to build on the concepts addressed in the Dental Anatomy, Periodontics and Cariology courses. This course offers the second year dental student instruction in the fundamentals of theory and practice that include the following: 1) a working knowledge of the dental radiological physics, technique , safety and interpretation as they apply to dentistry; 2) a pre-clinical laboratory exercise to develop practical skills in the area of dental x-ray procedures; 3) self-instruction materials that cover normal radiographic anatomy; and 4) small group exercises in basic radiographic interpretation of caries and periodontium to serve as the foundation for future radiographic interpretation and patient care. This course includes a self-paced online component (recommended lecture completion dates and test freezing dates will be posted), small group interpretation exercises, and a preclinical radiology technique rotation. In-class sessions are available upon request for any topics that the class would like to review with the course director.
