Abstract: (18 Views)
Background: In order to achieve the educational goals, it is important and necessary to follow the educational curriculum. In this study, the degree of conformity of the type and number of radiographs included in the educational curriculum with the radiographs taken by dental students in Yazd was evaluated.
Material and Methods: In order to conduct this study, the students who had practical radiology unit 1 , 2 or 3 in the first semester of the academic year 2022-2023 were requested to provide us with their logbooks if they are satisfied. Demographic information, including radiology practical unit and academic semester, as well as the number and type of radiographic stereotypes prepared by students, were carefully recorded and compared with the mandatory radiographs specified in the educational curriculum of radiology practical units. Finally, the data were analyzed using ANOVA and T-test.
Results: In all practical radiology units 1, 2 and 3 the amount of paralleling, occlusal, panoramic and lateral cephalometric technique radiographs was zero. The average ratio of the number of bisecting-angle radiographs taken to the number specified in the educational curriculum was 119% in practical radiology unit 1 and 173% in practical radiology unit 2. in bitewing radiography, this average was 87% and 166% in practical radiology unit 1 and 2, respectively. Also, the average in practical radiology unit 3 was, 1970%.
Conclusion: Due to the inconsistency, perhaps a review of the educational curriculum in the implementation of practical training in the department of oral and maxillofacial radiology is needed.
