OVERVIEW

OC Dental Academy X-ray Program 2 is organized by OC Dental Academy.

Description:
This program is designed for students who have little to no experience in taking x-rays. At OC Dental Academy, our Dental Radiation Safety course includes online and in-class lectures, instructional videos and one-on-one training using dental x-ray mannequins. The Dental Radiation Safety course is a Dental Board approved course that will fulfill the requirements for unlicensed Dental Assistants seeking to become an RDA. If you are a student that requires assistance in taking an FMX with 5 or less errors on a dental mannequin, then this class will be perfect for you!

The written portion of the program is 16 hours and the clinical portion is over a period of 2 days (16 hours on average), for a total length of 32 hours. Depending on your ability you will choose the pace at which you complete the program. This course is non-refundable.

Students will be trained in the following:
• Lecture and clinical application of x-ray safety
• Bisecting and parallel techniques
• Film exposure
• Processing and mounting of non-digital x-rays,
• Digital x-ray (Dexis) training
• Evaluation of both digital and non-digital dental x-rays.
