DHYG 282 Dental Imaging II (3 credits)
Prerequisite Current enrollment in the Bachelor of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene program.
Course Description
A course in radiology further developing dental imaging techniques. Includes extra-oral and intra-oral radiography, photography, and video imaging using radiographic evaluation and interpretation to assist in treatment planning, techniques for special populations, oral cancer screening techniques, dental imaging film exposing and mounting techniques, and theoretical developing and processing.
Student Outcomes
1. Using the American Dental Association (ADA) guidelines for dental radiographic examinations, accurately and consistently determine and recommend a patient’s dental radiographic examination needs for intra-oral and extra-oral imaging.
2. Demonstrate correct extra-oral and advanced intra-oral digital dental imaging techniques using aseptic protocol.
3. Identify digital intra-oral and extra-oral technique errors and demonstrate correction and prevention of these errors.
4. Accurately describe and identify normal anatomical landmarks on intra-oral and extra-oral radiographs.
5. Demonstrate accurate evaluation and interpretation of intra-oral and extra-oral radiographs.
6. Accurately describe and identify normal anatomical landmarks on intra-oral and extra-oral radiographs.
7. Accurately describe and identify radiographic structures which deviate from normal structures on intra-oral and extra-oral radiographs including restorations, dental materials, and foreign objects.
8. Accurately describe and identify indications of pathology on intra-oral and extra-oral radiographs including dental caries, evidence of periodontal disease process, trauma, resorption (external and internal), periapical lesions, impacted teeth, eruption patterns, growth and development, and bone and soft tissue diseases, etc.
9. Describe alternative intra-oral exposure techniques and digital receptor holders.
10. Describe the principles of extra-oral and intra-oral photographs.
11. Accurately describe and identify indications for the use of dental photography, intra-oral video imaging and oral cancer screening/imaging in dental and dental hygiene patient care.
12. Accurately and consistently demonstrate correct technique to create diagnostic extra-oral and intra-oral digital photographs using aseptic protocol.
13. Identify the available systems and equipment utilized for intra-oral video imaging and oral cancer screening/imaging.
14. Describe the intended use for administration/exposure, evaluation, and interpretation of intra-oral video images and oral cancer screening results.
15. Consistently demonstrate the correct use of intra-oral video imaging systems and oral cancer screening/imaging equipment using aseptic protocol.
16. Accurately and consistently demonstrate and describe technique modifications for intra-oral and extra-oral radiographs on special populations.
17. Describe exposure, processing, mounting, and evaluating diagnostic film intra-oral surveys.
18. Identify and describe film processing and mounting errors and prevention of film processing and mounting errors.
19. Correctly demonstrate patient education and motivational communication regarding the use and significance of dental radiographs, photographs, and video imaging.
