Aims

To update on:

  • Dental radiation regulations as they impact the dentist working in multiple settings.
  • To work through case based examples where adverse events have resulted from poor imaging technique and image reporting.
  • Update on digital dental imaging used in dentistry its QA and pitfalls.
  • Give an overview/teaching on `dental image interpretation`- the clinical evaluation of images as required by the IRMER Operator Reporter role. Interactive clinical problem solving will be encouraged.
Objectives
  • By the end of the presentations the delegates will have an understanding of relevant, current Radiation Regulations affecting dentistry (IRMER2018 and IRR2017)
  • Delegates will be able to appraise the `whole imaging pathway` to ensure it is robust in preventing system errors that result in adverse events and poor quality imaging, taking into account human factors.
  • Delegates will know common errors that can degrade `digital` images, and how to utilise QA in order to prevent this.
  • Delegates will be able to systematically appraise dental images to ensure maximal diagnostic yield from their images. They will recognise aggressive / malignant lesions and when to refer on for specialist help for diagnosis and treatment.
