features Intraoral Radiography

During each intraoral session, we will attempt to interpret 12-13 intraoral images. Each session will end with one intraoral image for competency. Course requirement is interpreting 25 intraoral images and successfully completing two competency images. For each image, please identify the radiograph (e.g. maxillary right molar periapical film), evaluate any technical discrepancy, and then describe the major findings. Your teacher will quiz you on anatomic landmarks.
