Dental Resident Clinical Core
	CLCR 8006 - Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology The major objectives of this course are to provide the student with an advanced course in oral and maxillofacial radiology. Oral and maxillofacial radiology interrelates with all clinical disciplines of dentistry with the exact nature of the relationship varying from one discipline to another. These relationships include a diagnostic role in identifying or confirming the presence of an abnormality; a treatment planning role such as determining the extent of a condition; being an integral part of a clinical technique in another discipline; and acting as a tool to monitor the progress of healing, the recurrence of previously treated disease, and the evaluation of the status of previous conditions.
