Crash Course in Oral Radiology

From Dentistry Made Simple Dentistry Made Simple

A comprehensive educational resource for dental students and young dentists, created and edited by Sima Habrawi and Haif Alqahtani for Dentiscope in 2020. The content thoroughly covers the foundational principles of oral radiology, including the discovery and generation of X-rays, image formation, and different film types. A significant portion of the material is dedicated to radiation safety and dosage, emphasizing the ALARA principle for both patients and staff, alongside discussions of the biological effects of radiation. Furthermore, the crash course provides detailed instruction on various intraoral and extraoral radiographic techniques, such as periapical, bitewing, and occlusal projections, as well as specialized imaging like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and sialography for salivary glands. The resource also explains how to interpret radiographs for conditions like caries, periodontal disease, apical lesions, and trauma to the teeth and facial skeleton.
