This course provides lecture and laboratory-based instruction on the exposure and processing
techniques of diagnostic dental films. Students will also learn the basic principles of radiation physics
and the concepts of radiation safety in the dental office. Radiographic instruction includes intraoral
x-ray, panoramic x-rays, and an overview of digital x-ray systems. Using a radiographic simulator, students
will develop a portfolio of radiographs they have taken to demonstrate competence in exposing, processing
and mounting intra and extra oral radiographs on a variety of patient types.
