Product Description

Exercises in Oral Radiography Techniques: A Laboratory Manual for Essentials of Dental Radiography

Digital imaging emphasis. Increased flexibility for educators to incorporate the use of film-based, photostimulable phosphor (PSP), and charge coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor active pixel sensor (CMOS-APS) digital technologies into each of the laboratory modules to help prepare students for both traditional and electronic oral health care practice.
Update and reintroduction of film-based imaging and darkroom protocol. Film-based radiography remains a reliable method for acquiring diagnostic images for use in the evaluation and treatment of oral disease. The addition of a laboratory practice dedicated to film-based image acquisition provides students with concrete activities in which to form an understanding of radiographic image development.
Focus on technique problem solving. Added learning activities challenge a student to apply technique modifications to avoid and correct errors that compromise diagnostic quality.
Consolidation of occlusal examination and supplemental techniques. Topics have been streamlined to reflect essential skills that a dental hygienist and dental assistant need to know, and incorporated into a cohesive set of laboratory practice activities.
Addition of activities that demonstrate complex principles. New experimental activities in the use of the inverse square law, and in recognizing the impact dynamic range has on a digital sensor help link theory to practical application.
Redirected interpretive process. New instructional focus gives students an interpretive vocabulary to facilitate the development of skills needed to describe radiographic findings. Changes made to the fourth edition of Exercises in Oral Radiography Techniques: A Laboratory Manual reflect requests from educators for an intelligible resource with which to help prepare students for roles as competent professionals.

While dental hygiene and dental assisting students learn oral radiographic theory in the classroom, it is through laboratory practice that students perfect the skills necessary to assume professional roles. This laboratory manual challenges students to link theory with clinical practice.Â Â

Designed to complement Essentials of Dental Radiography for Dental Assistants and Hygienists, 10th Edition, Exercises in Oral Radiography Techniques: A Laboratory Manual serves as a workbook to guide a student in the practice of radiographic techniques with ready-made exercises, which include mounting diagrams to attach finished radiographs and pages that allow a student to turn in assignments for instructor evaluation. Each of the student-centered activities requires minimal preparation by an instructor, and explicit directions guide independent, self-paced practice.Â

Providing students with guided exercises that facilitate the development of dental radiographic skills, while providing instructors of oral radiology with a resource for meaningful laboratory activities, continues to be the goal of the fourth edition of Exercises in Oral Radiography Techniques: A Laboratory Manual. A thorough revision, in combination with a reorganization of topic presentation, reflects the educational recommendations of dental hygiene and dental assisting curriculum guidelines.
