About the Course:
This basic-level course reviews intraoral and extraoral film, projections, digital receptor types, and the use of intensifying screens. In addition, the course describes multiple radiographic techniques and challenges, including common radiographic mistakes, working with patients with a severe gag reflex, dimple-down techniques, and focal lengths, and reviews processing techniques, safelights, white-light leakage, film baths, and temperature. The course also addresses the importance of standardized, consistent film mounting for accurate interpretation of patient x-rays. The dental office may find this information helpful in training new staff members as well as training or retraining seasoned personnel; dental professionals can also review the material to enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce patient exposure to radiation.
