Fundamentals of Dental Radiography
Final Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Fundamentals of Dental Radiography introduces the basic principles and techniques of radiographic imaging as applied in dentistry. The course covers the physics of x-ray production, radiographic anatomy, safety protocols, and infection control measures. Students will learn about different types of radiographic equipment, film processing, digital imaging, and proper patient positioning to obtain diagnostic-quality images. Emphasis is placed on minimizing radiation exposure for both patients and operators through adherence to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines. The course includes both theoretical instruction and hands-on practice, preparing students to produce and evaluate dental radiographs for clinical use.
