This lecture is designed to equip participants with an analytical framework for the systematic examination of both 2D and 3D imaging modalities. Attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of pattern recognition techniques essential for distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions. The session will also include a comprehensive analysis of prevalent, yet significant soft tissue calcifications observed in plain film and CBCT imaging, alongside an introductory exploration of paranasal sinuses and TMJ evaluations. Further, the course will delve into the biologic effects of ionizing radiation, distinguishing between reparable and non-repairable damages, and highlight the variance in radiosensitivity between pediatric and adult patients. Finally, the lecture will discuss and elucidate the evidence underpinning the latest ADA guidelines for protective shielding in dental radiography, ensuring practitioners are well-informed on contemporary best practices.
