DENT 121 — Oral Radiology/Radiography II
This course includes didactic, laboratory, and clinic instruction. Content in this course emphasizes quality intraoral techniques (utilizing paralleling, bisecting, and specialty techniques), extraoral radiography, quality assurance, identifying and correcting undiagnostic radiographs, radiograph interpretation and assessment, patient relations, and application of theory in the lab/clinic setting. As an additional content area, digital radiography is emphasized in both theory and practice, and students apply this knowledge in Eaglesoft software and the use of Schick digital sensors. Students are expected to obtain their own prescription patients for final full mouth series. Dental assistant program students will be prepared to sit for the oral radiology component of the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) examination upon successful completion of this course.
