Dental x-rays, also known as dental radiographs, serve as vital diagnostic tools, revealing concealed dental structures, potential masses, bone density changes, and cavities. With their indispensable role in clinical dentistry, radiographic examinations are routinely conducted on patients. As such, understanding the specifics of these images is fundamental for clinicians in making accurate diagnoses.

Name:Module 3: Terminology in Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics 

Description:In this module, we'll explore the terminology associated with restorative dentistry, which involves repairing or replacing teeth to enhance oral health and chewing function. Additionally, we'll delve into terminology related to endodontics, a dental specialty focusing on the treatment of dental pulp and root-related issues.

Name:Module 4: Terminology in Prosthodontics

Description:This module will explore the terminology of prosthodontics, a dental specialty focused on creating artificial teeth to replace missing or damaged ones. Prosthodontics involves crafting crowns, bridges, dentures, and other restorative treatments. Moreover, we will gain insights into the techniques and approaches employed to rehabilitate and safeguard facial and oral structures.
