Course/Module description:
The course will provide the student with oro-maxillofacial imaging skills for producing intra-oral common radiographs including bitewings and periapicals.
Interpretation of maxillofacial pathology and underlying altered systemic conditions based on a systematic approach for radiograph review. During this course the student will learn how to elaborate a differential diagnosis for findings in various dental imaging techniques. The students are required to interpret FMX, Orthopantograms (PAN), elaborate treatment planning for patients considering correlation of clinical data and present a short seminar on the differential diagnosis of a radiographic finding they encountered during the rotation. Practice the use of software for digital radiology, exercise the use of film based radiology, exposure to advanced imaging techniques used for dental and maxillofacial diagnosis CBCT, and sialography The students participate in outpatient consultations; they collect the primary data and present the patient to the instructors

Course/Module aims:
The purpose of this course is to provide the student the opportunity to interpret radiographs, report radiographic findings, correlate the findings with clinical and pathological data and elaborate self skills for quality control
Train the students how to distinguish normal anatomy from pathological findings, their presence in consultations with other colleagues will demonstrate how to properly communicate with colleagues in and out of dental school, show them how to elaborate a differential diagnosis based on the radiological findings and clinical data, and how to report the findings. To develop the students’ self criticism and quality control. Improve students' skills in using imaging software. Expose the students to advanced imaging modalities available for dental practice. The student will be able to decide when to refer the patient for further imaging studies

Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
produce and interpret inta-oral radiographs and elaborate a treatment plan based on the clinical data correlated to the radiographic findings.
• Distinguish, describe and report pathologies in dental intraoral and extraoral radiographs.
• Elaborate a differential diagnosis for the finding, decide how to manage the patient, refer for additional evaluation or refer to a specialist or follow-up if needed.
• Interpret a radiological finding and assess based on clinical radiology and pathology correlations what is the most accurate diagnosis.
• Decide and select the appropriate imaging modality for a specific clinical or radiological finding in question
