This course is designed to provide dental students with a solid foundation in the principles and
techniques of radiographic imaging as applied to the oral and maxillofacial region. The course
will cover topics such as the physics behind radiation creation, X-ray machines, receptors, All
available intraoral and extraoral radiographical techniques, radiographic anatomy, radiographic
interpretation, and the recognition of common dental pathologies, such as caries, periodontal
diseases, and dental anomalies. Students will learn about the different types of dental
radiographs, including intraoral and extraoral radiographs, and their indications, limitations, and
appropriate techniques. Students will also learn about the principles of radiation safety and
