A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Extra-oral radiography

Extra‑oral radiography involves imaging of the head and neck region from outside the oral cavity, using techniques such as panoramic, cephalometric, intra‑oral periapical, and bite‑wing radiographs. Mastery of patient positioning, radiation safety, and interpretation of anatomical landmarks is essential for accurate diagnosis and is heavily tested in Nigerian tertiary exams.
