COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will introduce the student to dental radiology. Special emphasis will be given
to radiation physics, production, protection, and ethics. Radiographic imaging techniques,
film processing, quality assurance procedures, radiographic anatomy and principles of
interpretation will also be presented through lectures, demonstrations and practice in
laboratory sessions.

LABORATORY FINAL
This course outline and calendar is tentative and subject to change depending upon the
progress of the class.
Due to the amount of material to be covered in this course it is recommended that you read
your textbook chapter(s) before the lecture or laboratory to familiarize yourself with the
material that will be covered in the lecture or laboratory session. You are responsible for
the information covered in assigned readings, materials covered in lecture and lab, course
goals, and supporting core competencies.
Following the lecture or laboratory session you should review your notes and the required
reading assignment and complete the identification exercises and review questions at the
end of the chapter.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
This course consists of a didactic (classroom) component and a laboratory component. To
successfully meet the requirements of this course, the student is expected to attend all
lectures and laboratories and to demonstrate their understanding of the lecture topics and
laboratory procedures through laboratory exercises, radiographic exposures and
interpretation, and written examinations.
CLASSROOM EXAMINATIONS
There will be four non-cumulative examinations during the semester. All classroom
examinations will be administered during the first hour of the assigned lecture time
period. Each examination will consist of 50 multiple-choice questions worth 2 points per
question. These examinations are computer based and will be administered in a
designated computer lab. The first 50 minutes of the lecture period will be allowed to
complete the examination. Classroom examinations will cover material from lectures,
laboratory exercises and reading assignments. Refer to the course outline section for
topics that will be included in each examination.
There will also be an examination on Radiation Biology/Radiation Protection. This
examination will be taken on-line through the Moodle website between February 8, 2014
and February 16, 2014. This examination will be taken outside you scheduled laboratory
and lecture time periods. The examination will consist of 50 multiple-choice questions
DHY 205HY – Dental Radiology Student Syllabus Spring 2014
DHY 205 Spring 2014 9
worth 2 points per question. All students must achieve a minimum of 75% on this test
prior to exposing any radiographs in the laboratory or clinic. Any student who does not
achieve the minimum passing grade (75%) after the first attempt will be remediated and
retested until a passing grade is achieved.
The grade received on this test will not be averaged into the final course grade. Failure to
fulfill this requirement will result in a loss of laboratory and/or clinical time.
LABORATORY ACTIVITIES
The laboratory portion of this course is designed to assist you in a better understanding of
dental radiology and its application. Attendance, arriving on time and participation in the
entire lecture and laboratory sessions are mandatory. Every laboratory session will be
graded. No make-up labs will be given for missed laboratory activities. Part of the time you
will be exposing radiographs on a manikin and other times you will be processing films,
interpreting and evaluating images, getting images graded, or completing other laboratory
assignments. Therefore, you are expected to be present during the entire laboratory
session.
A cumulative lab examination will be given during the final week of the semester during
your scheduled lab time and day. All students are required to take the lab examination
final when scheduled. If special circumstances require a schedule adjustment, this must be
arranged in advance with the instructor The laboratory final will consist of 50 multiple-
choice questions, worth 2 points each, presented in a case-based format.
RADIOGRAPHIC SERIES
To successfully satisfy the requirements of this course each student must expose and
interpret a set number of diagnostically acceptable radiographic series on the DXTTR
Phantom during each scheduled laboratory session. These radiographic series will be
graded and will be applied to the laboratory portion of the final grade. A passing grade on
all radiographic series is required to complete this course.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance and participation is extremely important for success in this course due to the
mount of material that is covered in lecture and the laboratory. Regular and punctual
attendance in lecture and lab is expected. Absences, lateness and early departures will
lower your final grade. Missing a lecture will count as one absence, missing a laboratory
will count as two absences. The following combinations of absences, late entries, and early
departures will result in the loss of points from your final grade:

Absences, etc.

If you miss all or part of class it is your responsibility to find out from a classmate what you
have missed so that you are prepared for the next class session.

EVALUATION
Examinations (4) Average…………………80%
Lab Final Examination…………………….15%
Laboratory series and exercises……….….5%
An average of 75 on all examinations must be achieved to successfully pass this course. In
this course this average will be calculated from the scores of the four classroom
examinations and the laboratory final.
All students must complete, interpret and submit for grading a set amount of radiographic
images on the training manikin in order to satisfy the requirements of this course.
The final letter grade will correspond to the following numerical grading system:
A 92-100
B+ 89-91
B 83-88
C+ 80-82
C 75-79
F 74 and below
A MINIMUM GRADE OF “C” IS REQUIRED TO PASS THIS COURSE.
There are no extra credit opportunities in this course.
INSTRUCTOR ABSENCE
If the instructor does not appear after 20 minutes following the scheduled starting time of
the laboratory or lecture, students should generate an attendance sheet. One volunteer
member of the class should deliver the list with the date to the Dental Hygiene Office (S-
337).
EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSINGS
In the event of inclement weather or other unexpected emergency, the college may decide to
cancel classes. Announcements of the college closing will be made on radio stations WOR
710, WNBC 660, WMCA 57, WCBS 88, and on Cablevision Channel 25.
Also, go to the Bergen Community College website at www.bergen.edu for regular weather
updates during inclement weather.
All students interested in receiving immediate notification on critical campus alerts should
register for the Emergency Notification System. This system provides text, email and voice
notification services. To sign up, go to www.bergen.edu/emergencyalert.
STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Students are encouraged to use the student support services provided by the College. These
services include the Tutoring Center (L-125) and the Office of Specialized Services (L-115).
Free subject area tutoring and study skills workshops are available. Tutorial services help
students develop learning strategies based on their individual learning styles with the goal
of creating successful students and independent learners.
Bergen Community College’s Office of Specialized Services collaborates with and empowers
students with disabilities to achieve their educational goals. The office provides academic
