This course provides advanced specialty education students advanced training in current oral and maxillofacial radiology techniques. The primary, technical focus of the course is on dental cone beam computed tomography. During the didactic
portion of the course, we also discuss the principles of magnetic resonance imaging. The course begins with lectures by the course director to introduce the topic of advanced oral radiographic methods and interpretation. Using lectures assisted with PowerPoint presentations, small groups of three to four graduate students then present on the following assigned topics: developmental anomalies; inflammatory diseases of the jaws; cysts; benign neoplasms; malignant neoplasms; fibro-osseous neoplasms; and systemic diseases. We complete the course with a review of incidental findings and lectures on CBCT diagnosis in the fields of implantology, endodontics, and growth and development. Our final lecture is seminar-style with presentation of unknown cases, with open discussion by students.
