ODS 822 - Oral Radiology Clinic I

Students will practice proper digital sensor placement on each other (with no radiation exposure) utilizing alternative imaging techniques to acquire patient management skills while employing infection control practices. Students will observe alternative methods to obtain intraoral radiographs utilizing various holders such as the UniBite, Snap-A-Ray, hemostat, foam block, and Rinn XCP for periapical views. Bitewing radiographic methods include Rinn XCP, UniBite, and tabs. Occlusal radiographic techniques and limited bisecting angle techniques will be demonstrated. Digital imaging with exposure of the DXTTR phantom will be reinforced as students obtain and process digital bitewing radiographs utilizing (PSP) Photostimulable Phosphor sensors.
