OVERVIEW
Using a workshop format, participants will be provided with examples of intraoral and panoramic radiographs containing a variety of exposure, technique and processing errors. Discussion will identify potential strategies for identifying sources of error and how to correct the error. In addition, key radiographic landmarks will be identified to aid in recognizing the diagnostic value of each radiograph and their importance to the dentist in diagnosis. Time permitting, participants will be provided radiographs with deviations and variations from normal along with a strategy to recognize them.

OBJECTIVES
• Given an assortment of radiographs, distinguish between clinically acceptable radiographs and those that are not clinically acceptable for diagnostic purposes.
• Given radiographs exhibiting various errors in exposure, radiographic technique and processing correctly identify the error and how to correct it.
• Recognize variations and deviations from the normal and describe them.
