Aims:

This course aims:

To improve participants knowledge and confidence in recognising common radiographic features of dental caries and periodontal disease, and in understanding how radiographic findings contribute to periodontal staging and grading under the 2017 classification.


Objectives:

By the end of the course, participants will have reviewed:

  • The principles of systematic dental radiograph assessment.
  • The radiographic appearance of different types and stages of dental caries.
  • The limitations of radiographs in detecting and assessing caries.
  • The radiographic features of horizontal and vertical periodontal bone loss.
  • The key principles of the 2017 periodontal classification, including staging, grading and extent.
  • The importance of accurate documentation, communication and referral within the dental team.
  • The 2017 classification uses staging to describe disease severity and complexity and grading to indicate progression risk; radiographic bone loss is one of the factors used in this assessment.

Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Apply a structured approach when reviewing dental radiographs.
  • Identify common radiographic signs associated with enamel, dentinal and recurrent caries.
  • Recognise radiographic evidence of periodontal bone loss and describe its pattern and severity.
  • Distinguish between horizontal and vertical bone loss.
  • Explain the basic principles of periodontal staging and grading under the 2017 BSP classification.
  • Recognise when radiographic findings require further clinical assessment or escalation to the dentist.
  • Accurately record and communicate relevant radiographic observations while working within their professional scope of practice.
