This course provides lecture and laboratory-based instruction on the foundations of radiography,
radiation safety, infection control and quality assurance involving dental radiography, exposure and
processing techniques of diagnostic dental films. 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.
