Registration open for STCC dental radiology course

January 25, 2021

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Springfield Technical Community College is accepting applications for an intensive two-week dental radiology certificate training for dental assistants, the only program of its kind west of Boston.

This hybrid (online and clinical component) course, which opens Feb. 1 at 9 a.m., trains dental assistants in the fundamentals of dental radiography. The labs will be held Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:45 p.m.-8:45 p.m., Feb. 8 and 10 and Feb. 17 and 17.

You must successfully complete the first two modules before the first lab on Feb. 8. You must successfully complete the last two modules by Feb. 17, 2020.

Offered through the Workforce Development Center at STCC, the course explores the basics of dental radiography, which includes:

  • X-ray physics
  • Effects of radiation exposure
  • Radiation protection
  • Image receptors
  • Digital radiography
  • Dental radiographic anatomy
  • Intra and extra-oral radiographic procedures

Dental assistants who enroll in the program will gain experience exposing digital radiographs and correctly mounting them using a digital mount. This experience will be gained by hands-on exposure on a manikin and hands-on placement on both a manikin and a lab partner.  A final laboratory competency consists of exposure and evaluation of a full mouth series on a live patient selected by the student.

STCC's Workforce Development Center's noncredit programs and classes meet the ever-changing technology and workforce demands of individuals, business, and industry in the region. 

For more information about the course and to enroll online, visit stcc.io/radiology. For questions, call (413) 755-4225.
