Description

Everything a dentist needs to know about X-ray diagnostics - from intraoral radiography to CBCT - in one course!

 

After following this course, you will:

 

– Have a thorough understanding of the principles of intraoral radiography

– Be better skilled to recognize anatomy and pathology on CBCT and OPG images

– Be able to recognize positioning errors in panoramic radiography

– Differentiate artifacts from real images on CBCT.

 

After the course, you will be able to conduct a more accurate diagnosis, reduce the risks of a misdiagnosis, and provide your patients with a quality assurance of the treatment planning process.

Lesson 1.Intraoral radiography: principles and interpretation

– Understanding of the principles of radiography

– History of radiography: important dates in time  

– Important skills to take intraoral radiographs overall

– Conducting occlusal and oblique occlusal radiographs  

– Principles of analog imaging, disadvantages of analog imaging 

– Necessary knowledge about oblique lateral radiographs 

– Image detectors:  


- Digital

- Analog.


– Parallel technique

– Endodontic image

– Occlusal radiography.


Recommended for: Orthodontists, Prosthodontists, Functional dentists, Pediatric dentists, Endodontists, Restorers, Periodontists, Implantologists, Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dental technicians, General dentists.

Lesson 2.Panoramic radiography: principles and interpretation

– Understanding the principle of tomography 

– Extraoral bitewing radiograph

– Modern panoramic machine

– The difference between real images and ghost images in panoramic radiographs

– Qualified diagnostics of anatomical formations on panoramic radiographs

– Positioning errors in panoramic radiography

– Patient position.


Recommended for: Orthodontists, Prosthodontists, Functional dentists, Pediatric dentists, Endodontists, Restorers, Periodontists, Implantologists, Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dental technicians, General dentists.

Lesson 3.Cone Beam Computed Tomography: principles and interpretation
