Learning unit contents
Radiodiagnostics in preventive dental medicine
The theoretical and practical concepts taught in the Radiodiagnosis in dentistry course must allow the student to become familiar with the various radiological tools used in dentistry. They also allow the learning of techniques for taking intra-oral images and the learning of the knowledge necessary for reading 2D or 3D images. The theoretical course of Radiodiagnosis in dentistry begins with a general description of the various radiological tools and the various types of radiographic images which can be useful within the framework of a current dental practice as well as the basic rules to be respected as a practitioner of dentistry for optimal use of these tools. The theoretical notions discussed next are the properties of X-rays applied to dentistry the properties of the different films/sensors that are used in the practice of dentistry. A large part of the theory is then devoted to the techniques of taking intra-oral X-rays, to reading the X-rays and to the analysis of the defects that certain X-rays may present, as well as to the means of optimizing the taking of intra-oral radiographic X-rays. -mouths. These notions will be approached from a theoretical and practical point of view. And finally, the theoretical course of radiodiagnosis in dentistry ends with the indications of the different types of X-ray images that can be useful in the context of routine dental practice the use of radiographs according to the different dental disciplines. the particularities related to the use of the 2D panoramic image a more complete description of the use in dental practice of the 3D tool. Several radiodiagnostic exercises in dentistry (reading, concordance) will be offered via the ecampus platform. Theoretical teaching and practical learning of the notions of Radiodiagnosis in dentistry will be done consecutively. The practical work of Radiodiagnosis in dentistry includes online sessions and face-to-face, pre-clinical sessions where the student will have the opportunity to train in the techniques of taking intra-oral X-ray images in order to conceive a mandatory duty of radiodiagnosis, the practical details of which will be explained to him during the 1st lesson.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Radiodiagnostics in preventive dental medicine
At the end of the Dental Radiodiagnosis course, you - know the basic principles of radiology covered in the course. - know the different types of X-ray images used in dentistry and their indications. - know all the equipment needed to take 2D X-ray images in a patient and will be able to use it in pre-clinical practice on a phantom patient. - know the techniques of taking 2D images and is able to perform them on a phantom patient. - be able to identify on x-ray images (intra- and extra-oral) the different anatomical structures, dental tissues and restorative materials or prosthetic materials used in dentistry. - be able to identify technical faults on X-ray images that complicate the establishment of a diagnosis. - will have acquired the basic notions to make a clinical diagnosis based on the reading of an X-ray image.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Radiodiagnostics in preventive dental medicine
Dental diagnostic methods Radiobiology and radiation protection (corequis)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Radiodiagnostics in preventive dental medicine
Ex cathedra course (face-to-face) based on a theoretical and clinical approach (x-rays taken from simple clinical cases).
ARC Online courses (ecampus) in particular on training in reading and analyzing X-ray images. Putting pre-clinical learning into practice with the completion of a MANDATORY radiology assignment as part of the practical work of this Radiodiagnosis in dentistry course. 10% of the final mark of the certification evaluation will be generated by the mark obtained for the duty of radiodiagnosis.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Radiodiagnostics in preventive dental medicine
Blended learning
Additional information:
Course slides available on ecampus. Syllabus available on ecampus and on myUlg. NB: A small additional syllabus serving as an introduction to the Radiodiagnosis course is distributed during the first course and is available on myULiège and ecampus. It constitutes a clinical memory aid which will be useful to you during your clinical internships and it does not in any way cover all the material to be known in the course of Radiodiagnosis in dentistry.

Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam AND oral exam
- Remote
written exam
Other : Written theoretical exam and oral practical exam in the preclinical room
Additional information:
The certification evaluation is organized at the end of the teaching unit. Partim theory (written exam) A written exam containing questions of the MCQ/QRM/or/or type, matching tests make it possible to verify knowledge and understanding of the concepts taught. Open questions (with short answers (QROC)), texts to be completed and matching tests assess understanding and the ability to apply the concepts taught (diagnosis, differential diagnosis). The mark of the theoretical part will count for 40% of the final mark of the first session certification evaluation. Practical part (oral exam) It will take place in pre-clinical: examination on computer and practical examination on phantom. Matching tests verify knowledge and understanding of the notions of image-taking techniques taught as well as the ability to read and interpret X-ray images. Open questions (with short answers (QROC)) make it possible to assess the student's ability to read, understand and interpret an intra-oral or panoramic X-ray image (reading, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, artefacts). For the simulation part, the student must take several X-ray images on a phantom patient, under conditions similar to those proposed during his apprenticeship (pre-clinical). The mark of the practical part will count for 50% of the final mark of the first session certification evaluation. The remaining 10% of the final mark of the first session certification evaluation will be generated by the mark obtained for the duty of radiodiagnosis, carried out in pre-clinical on a phantom patient according to the rules and criteria taught in the course of Radiodiagnosis in medicine dentistry and the safety rules taught in the course of Radiobiology and radiation protection. If the student has to retake this exam in the second session, the mark obtained for the assignment will not be counted: the score for the theoretical exam will be equivalent to 50%, as will the score for the practical exam.
