DMD-766: Radiology III

This course advances students’ competencies in oral and maxillofacial radiographic interpretation through systematic evaluation of intraoral, panoramic, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Emphasis is placed on identifying normal anatomy and anatomical variations, recognizing pathologic conditions, formulating differential diagnoses, and developing appropriate management recommendations including monitoring, biopsy, treatment, or referral. Through lecture-based instruction, case-based learning, and radiographic case presentations, students develop critical thinking, diagnostic reasoning, and communication skills necessary for comprehensive patient care.
