Radiography and Radiation Protection: Modern Dental Imaging

This interactive lecture will present the current thinking about X-ray practice in dentistry, keeping the good areas from the last and suggesting new ideas from the modern technology. Integration of technology into your clinical practice is key and the lecture is relevant to all areas of dentistry, from generalist to specialist level. The latter part of the lecture will look at pearls and pitfalls from different imaging methods followed by an interactive spotter to test your skills.

• Discover the doses from all types of modern X-ray images
• Integrate new imaging methods into your clinical practice, regardless of skill or experience
• Learning from mistakes – a look at some of my mistakes and others from the archives; and learn why they happened and how to improve

Learning objectives
