Dental Imaging

Dental radiography has been an integral part of modern dentistry since 1896, just a year after Wilhelm Röentgen’s groundbreaking discovery of X-rays. Today, dental X-rays are the most frequently taken diagnostic images in the UK, and the various types of dental imaging are crucial for accurate disease diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Dental radiography can be performed in dental practices, community settings, or hospitals.

What Does a Dental Radiographer Do?

In the UK, a dental radiographer is responsible for taking X-ray images of patients' teeth and jaws using either film or digital technology. They follow national guidelines to ensure the correct procedures for capturing and processing these images are adhered to. In addition to reviewing the X-rays, dental radiographers may also assist and instruct students in radiographic procedures, ensuring that proper techniques are applied.

The Role of Diagnostic Radiographers in Dental Imaging

Diagnostic radiographers involved in dental radiography:

• Gain knowledge of dental radiography techniques and maxillofacial imaging during their pre-registration education and training.
• May use these techniques in their post-registration roles in specialist facilities or as part of their routine service for trauma and Maxillofacial (Max Fax) patients.
• Can utilize a wide range of imaging methods such as plain X-rays, panoramic imaging, cone beam CT, CT, MRI, PET scans, and ultrasound, within their scope of practice.
• Have the opportunity to expand their skills into advanced roles, performing procedures like interventional sialography.
• Can develop expertise through postgraduate education to interpret and report on examination results.

• With appropriate training and expertise, a range of healthcare professionals may refer patients for, perform, and report on dental and maxillofacial X-rays, ensuring safe and accurate diagnostics.
