Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

This course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, techniques, and applications of radiology as it relates to the oral and maxillofacial region. The primary objectives of this course may include:

Understanding Radiological Techniques: To introduce students to the various radiological imaging techniques used in dentistry, with a focus on oral and maxillofacial structures. This may include X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Radiation Safety and Protection: To educate students about the principles of radiation safety, including proper usage of equipment, minimizing patient exposure, and adhering to regulatory guidelines to ensure the health and safety of patients, practitioners, and staff.
Anatomical Interpretation: To enable students to interpret radiographic images and recognize anatomical structures in the oral and maxillofacial region. This includes identifying normal anatomy, anatomical variations, and potential pathologies.

Course Content:

This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of fundamental principles in radiology. It covers the physics of ionizing radiation, its biological effects, safety and protection measures, as well as keynotes and board questions. The curriculum delves into digital imaging and film imaging, projection geometry, intraoral projections, cephalometric and skull imaging, and panoramic imaging. The course also addresses errors in panoramic radiography positioning and extensively examines the assessment of panoramic radiography by region. By the end of the course, students will have gained proficiency in foundational radiological concepts and techniques, enabling them to adeptly apply these skills in clinical settings.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Understand the foundational principles of radiation physics and biologic effects of ionizing radiation, emphasizing safety and protection measures.
2) Develop proficiency in digital imaging techniques and film imaging applications.
3) Grasp the concepts of projection geometry and master techniques for intraoral projections.
4) Gain expertise in cephalometric and skull imaging, along with panoramic imaging and the assessment of panoramic radiography by region.
5) Identify and interpret radiographic anatomy accurately.
6) Acquire skills in CBCT imaging, encompassing volume acquisition, preparation, and evaluation.
7) Interpreting Radiographs Alongside Clinical Findings and Oral Examination
8) Learn the principles of radiographic interpretation, enhancing diagnostic capabilities.
9) Interpret radiographic images to diagnose dental caries, periodontal diseases, and dental anomalies.
10) Analyze and interpret radiographic images depicting inflammatory conditions affecting the jaws.
