Panoramic & Intraoral Radiographic Interpretation Training: Core to Advanced
26 - 27 February 2027 | Melbourne | Up to 14 CPD hours
With Clinical Professor Bernard Koong, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist
BDSc (W.Aust), MSc (OMR) (Toronto), FICD, FADI, FPFA, MRACDS (DMFR)
Read OPGs and intraoral radiographs with confidence. Learn a systematic approach you can use in the chair every day - to separate normal anatomy from pathology, recognise jaw lesions, and know when to order further imaging or refer.
Taught by the author of the Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, this program runs alongside the Oral Health Victoria Conference 2027. Your registration includes the conference morning - with keynote speaker Norman Swan, clinical practice breakout session and networking with more than 500 oral health professionals - before you move into the Core Panoramic and Intraoral Radiograph training in the afternoon.
Who should attend: This professional development program is designed for oral health clinicians, including dentists and oral health therapists in public and private practice.
