good knowledge of the basic of physics of imaging techniques and of splanchnocranium and dental arches normal anatomy

The student has to know: -the main clinical indications to
the different imaging techniques and the limits of each of them; -the
diagnostic procedure of the different pathologies: inflammatory, focal
benign and malignant; -the main radiological features of the most
common pathologies; -physical and executive principles of the various
imaging techniques; -correctness and pertinence criteria of the various
imaging techniques; The student has also to be able to interpret
autonomously endoral and extraoral radiological images and
orthopantomograms (OPGs).
Fundamentals of radioprotection and optimal imaging pathways for various clinical conditions.
More specifically:
Learning basic principles about radioprotection both for the patients and the sanitary staff, with particular attention to their application in the odontostomatological field.

Physics of ionizing radiations, •Imaging techniques basics: x-ray films,
projection’s geometry, •Endoral and
extraoral radiographies; panoramic radiography; normal radiographic
anatomy; CT general information; Dentascan;
multislice CT; cone-beam CT; radiobiology; •Radiographic interpretation of
pathology: dental caries; pathology of periodontium; •Maxillary cysts
(Odontogenic cysts: general features, radicular cyst, dentigerous cyst,
odontogenic keratocysts). Inflammatory pathology of maxillary alveolar
processes (periapical lesions, pericoronitis, acute and chronic
osteomyelitis, osteonecrosis). Maxillary bones benign neoplasms (palatal
and mandibular tori, exostoses and enostoses, ameloblastoma and
variants, odontoma, ameloblastic fibroma and other odontogenic tumors,
non odontogenic tumors). Maxillary bones primary and secondary
malignant neoplasms; •Pediatric pathology: OPG (growth, number and
classification of deciduous and permanent teeth); teleradiographic exams
of the skull: indications and purposes.
Dental and maxillo-facial trauma.
Principles of radioprotection and legislative references.
Elements of radiotherapy and main indications in the treatment of head and neck oncological pathology.
