Provide your office staff with hands-on, in-person radiographic training to help trouble-shoot common radiographic errors many clinicians experience. These errors include: overlapping contacts, cone cut, film placement, distortion (elongation/foreshortening) and panoramic radiographs. Special client considerations will be discussed as well, such as maxillary torus and mandibular tori, edentulous clients, high/narrow palates, periodontitis clients, periapicals during endodontic treatment, gag reflexes and children.

In the comfort of your own office, and with your own radiography equipment, let’s RAD Up your Skills!
