Presentation: 1 hour 17 min Run Time, Knowledge Quiz: 93 Questions, 5 CE Credits
Contents of the Producing an Orthodontic Series of 9 Photos with a Small Camera
This course covers the precise criteria for excellent photos so that the learner will be able to recognize when a photo is acceptable and when it is not. It also demonstrates every step when producing an orthodontic series of 9 photographs so that the learner will know what procedures need to be changed for photos that are unacceptable. With this knowledge, the individual will be able to take photos on a patient and immediately delete and retake any photos that appear to be unacceptable. This will make the editing and downloading of raw photographs more efficient.
Even though this course demonstrates production with a small point and shoot camera, the basic principles are applicable when using a digital SLR camera. Since this course has been used to train thousands of dental professionals and students, a small, easy-to-operate camera was easier to use in those hands-on sessions than a SLR camera. A future presentation demonstrating the use of a popular SLR camera is planned.
Goal-The Goal of this course is to train the individual how to recognize excellent diagnostic photographs and produce an orthodontic series of 9 photographs with excellent diagnostic quality.
Objectives- At the conclusion of this presentation the learner will:
- Identify the criteria of excellent photos
- Identify why selected photos are unacceptable
- List and demonstrate the step-by-step process of producing an excellent series of 9 photos and state why each step is important.
- State the procedures that must be changed to correct unacceptable photos.
This course Presentation has about 93 embedded quiz questions that help the learner focus on the important concepts. The Presentation is sectioned into 13 topics where each topic covers the criteria of the view and production of the view:
1. Photography Basics
2. EXTRAORAL SERIOUS AND SMILING views
3. EXTRAORAL Profile view
4. CLOSE UP OF THE SMILE view
5. Introduction to Intraoral Photos
6. Selecting and Positioning RETRACTORS
7. INTRAORAL FRONTAL view
8. RIGHT AND LEFT LATERAL BUCCAL views
9. “DIRECT” RIGHT AND LEFT LATERAL BUCCAL views
10. Selecting MIRRORS
11. RIGHT AND LEFT BUCCAL VIEWS USING A MIRROR
12. MAXILLARY OCCLUSAL view and 13. MANDIBULAR OCCLUSAL view
The course has a 26-page SCRIPT of all the narration of the presentation, and Criteria Checklists, and Production Steps Checklists, and other documents to help the learner.
Learning Activities of the Course
There are about 93 teaching quiz questions embedded in the Clinical Photography Presentation that help the learner focus on the important points to learn. There are also about 93 questions in 4 Knowledge Quizzes that are designed to measure learning the objectives of the course.
There is also a Clinical Steps Checklist in tablet format that can be used by the learner when practicing taking photographs clinically. Residents at NYU found this Steps Checklist very helpful when they were learning how to take photos. This online Clinical Steps Checklist can be used by faculty for a Clinical Assessment Competency (with video recording) and uploaded to the student’s online account for documentation and clinical grading
SCORM Tracking of Each Student’s Learning Activities and Recording on the Student Dashboard Report
Each student’s learning activities such as correctly answering presentation embedded quiz questions, presentation viewing time, Knowledge Quiz completion time, Knowledge Quiz Score, and other learning data, are tracked so that a “learning analysis” can be done for each student and for the quality of each course. This data documents student performance and reports it on the Student Dashboard as well as on the Gradebook. This holds the student accountable for learning. In the future, clinical performance assessment data may be used to identify students who have not learned from the online courses, so that intervention can be made to help the student become proficient. No data is share with any entity. If data is ever used for learning research, all data will be de-identified following research protocol.
Who should take this course?
Clinical Photography is now and will be essential in the dental practice of the future. Every dental practitioner, dental hygienist, dental assistant, orthodontist, orthodontic resident, other specialty resident, orthodontic assistant, and dental student should know how to produce excellent clinical photographs. It is recommended that initial photographs be taken at all New Patient Orthodontic Exams so that they may be used to communicate with the patient. Progress and Post-Treatment photos should be used to document patient status and to learn from the treatment the clinician is providing.
Ideally, dental students, dental hygiene students, dental assisting students and other dental practitioner students should be taught and use these photography procedures when in training.
