DA166 – Advanced Techniques in Dental Radiography
In this module, students will complete the LDA’s “Radiographic Techniques and Safety Online Course,” DA166 – Advanced Techniques in Dental Radiography which provides essential practical skills and theoretical knowledge for effective and safe radiographic practice in a dental setting. Students will master the sequence of exposures using bisecting and paralleling techniques, accurately place image receptors for bitewing and periapical radiographs, and perform both manual and automatic processing of radiographs while maintaining processing equipment. They will also review and interpret mounted radiographs in a full-mouth series. Additionally, students will learn to identify and differentiate commonly used dental materials on radiographs, understand the principles and equipment involved in panoramic radiography, and discuss the roles and responsibilities of a dental assistant as a radiographer, focusing on safety and compliance standards.
