Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

Throughout this course, students will delve into the field of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology through a comprehensive curriculum. In the first weeks, they will develop the skills to interpret and analyze radiographic images, focusing on the identification and understanding of benign tumors, neoplasms, diseases affecting bone structure, and malignant neoplasms. Subsequent weeks will cover topics such as assessing bilateral pathologies, understanding ghost images, and interpreting periapical lesions. Students will also explore concepts like impacted teeth, periapical radiopaque pathologies, and hipersementosis, enhancing their understanding of these important aspects of radiology. Later in the course, the focus will shift to more specialized areas, including the interpretation of paranasal sinus diseases, craniofacial anomalies, temporomandibular joint abnormalities, soft tissue calcifications, and ossifications.

Course Content:

Throughout this comprehensive course, students will delve into the realm of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. The initial weeks will focus on developing skills in interpreting radiographic images, with an emphasis on identifying and understanding benign tumors, neoplasms, diseases affecting bone structure, and malignant neoplasms. Subsequent weeks will cover topics such as assessing bilateral pathologies, interpreting ghost images, and analyzing periapical lesions. Students will also explore concepts like impacted teeth, periapical radiopaque pathologies, and hipersementosis, deepening their understanding of these crucial aspects of radiology. Later in the course, the focus will shift to more specialized areas, including the interpretation of paranasal sinus diseases, craniofacial anomalies, temporomandibular joint abnormalities, and soft tissue calcifications and ossifications.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Develop skills to interpret and analyze radiographic images effectively.
2) Enhance the ability to identify and understand benign tumors, neoplasms, and diseases affecting bone structure.
3) Gain an understanding of the characteristics and effects of malignant neoplasms.
