Introduction on the Activities of the Exercise
This assignment gave me a chance to take part in dental radiology. The practice involved taking a digital full mouth series, a digital horizontal bitewing series, and a panoramic image on the pano DXXTR. Despite the challenges faced during the exercise, it was interesting and informative.
The first exercise involved taking one adult digital full mouth series of 18 digital images. The full mouth survey taken was a series of individual images such as a combination of periapical and bitewing. We took the x-rays for patients who were new to our office. The initial images were used as a baseline on the health of their mouths. I also learnt that the images were taken when there was suspicion that the patients had a tumor or jaw cyst. We also used them in significant dental works like extractions, root canals, and treatment of gum disease.
We also took an adult’s digital horizontal bite-wings series of 6 digital images, with the aim of looking at specific areas of the patients’ mouths.  The bitewing captured the exposed parts of the lower and upper teeth and half the supporting bone and their roots. I got a chance to see how the x-rays are used by dentists in detecting changes in the patients’ jawbones due to gum disease. Further, I learnt how the rays are taken and the difference between traditional and modern ways of taking the x-rays.
Further, we took one panoramic image on the pano DXXTR so as to take images of the patients’ entire mouth areas. I could see that they show the position of emerging, fully emerged, and affected teeth, all in the same image. I understood that dentists like the images because they show all these areas in one image, reducing ...
