It's a Beautiful Day to Take Dental Radiographs — Dental Radiographic Positioning

How to position patients and sensors for diagnostic-quality dental radiographs.

  • Full-mouth positioning technique and equipment setup that produce diagnostic images on the first exposure.
  • The most common positioning errors, and how to correct the distortions that create false pathology.

50 Shades of Perception — Introduction to Dental Radiographic Interpretation

A practical framework for interpreting small animal dental radiographs.

  • Normal radiographic anatomy as the baseline for every interpretation call.
  • Criteria for identifying periodontal, endodontic, and resorptive disease on dental radiographs.

50 Shades of Grey, Black and White — Case-Based Dental Radiographic Interpretation

Case-based application of dental radiographic interpretation principles.

  • Pattern recognition across real cases, from incidental findings to significant lesions.
  • Which imaging findings change the treatment plan, and which can be monitored.

What you take back to practice

Practical dental radiography skills you can apply to image acquisition, interpretation, and case decision-making.

Position for diagnostic images

Use practical positioning principles to reduce retakes and capture readable intraoral dental radiographs.

Read dental radiographs systematically

Apply a repeatable interpretation sequence for teeth, roots, periodontal structures, and surrounding bone.

Work through real-world cases

Practice recognizing common radiographic findings and connecting them to clinical decisions in dogs and cats.

Scope: This course is scoped to diagnosis — capturing and reading intraoral radiographs — not surgical technique.

Course Abstract

Live Online Interactive Webinar • Case-Based • Sponsor-Free

Dental radiographs are essential for diagnosing pathology below the gumline, but positioning errors and interpretation uncertainty can limit their value in daily practice.

This course walks through practical dental radiographic positioning, a systematic approach to interpretation, and case-based image review for dogs and cats. Dr. Brenda L. Mulherin, DVM, Diplomate AVDC, Clinical Professor of Dentistry and Oral Surgery at Iowa State University, teaches the material through Vet On It's sponsor-free CE platform.
