COURSE NAME : 30.12 Producing an Orthodontic Series of 9 Photos with a small camera
COURSE DESCRIPTION : 30.12 Producing an Orthodontic Series of 9 Photos with a Small Camera Presentation: 1 hour 17 min Run Time, Knowledge Quiz: 93 Questions, 5 CE Credits Contents of the Producing an Orthodontic Series of 9 Photos with a Small Camera This course covers the precise criteria for excellent photos so that the learner will be able to recognize when a photo is acceptable and when it is not. It also demonstrates every step when producing an orthodontic series of 9 photographs so that the learner will know what procedures need to be changed for photos that are unacceptable. With this knowledge, the individual will be able to take photos on a patient and immediately delete and retake any photos that appear to be unacceptable. This will make the editing and downloading of raw photographs more efficient. Even though this course demonstrates production with a small point and shoot camera, the basic principles are applicable when using a digital SLR camera. Since this course has been used to train thousands of dental professionals and students, a small, easy-to-operate camera was easier to use in those hands-on sessions than a SLR camera. A future presentation demonstrating the use of a popular SLR camera is planned. Goal-The Goal of this course is to train the individual how to recognize excellent diagnostic photographs and produce an orthodontic series of 9 photographs with excellent diagnostic quality. Objectives- At the conclusion of this presentation the learner will: This course Presentation has about 93 embedded quiz questions that help the learner focus on the important concepts. The Presentation is sectioned into 13 topics where each topic covers the criteria of the view and production of the view: 1. Photography Basics 2. EXTRAORAL SERIOUS AND SMILING views 3. EXTRAORAL Profile view 4. CLOSE UP OF THE SMILE view 5. Introduction to Intraoral Photos 6. Selecting and Positioning RETRACTORS 7. INTRAORAL FRONTAL view 8. RIGHT AND LEFT LATERAL BUCCAL views 9. “DIRECT” RIGHT AND LEFT LATERAL BUCCAL views 10. Selecting MIRRORS 11. RIGHT AND LEFT BUCCAL VIEWS USING A MIRROR 12. MAXILLARY OCCLUSAL view and 13. MANDIBULAR OCCLUSAL view The course has a 26-page SCRIPT of all the narration of the presentation, and Criteria Checklists, and Production Steps Checklists, and other documents to help the learner. Learning Activities of the Course There are about 93 teaching quiz questions embedded in the Clinical Photography Presentation that help the learner focus on the important points to learn. There are also about 93 questions in 4 Knowledge Quizzes that are designed to measure learning the objectives of the course. There is also a Clinical Steps Checklist in tablet format that can be used by the learner when practicing taking photographs clinically. Residents at NYU found this Steps Checklist very helpful when they were learning how to take photos. This online Clinical Steps Checklist can be used by faculty for a Clinical Assessment Competency (with video recording) and uploaded to the student’s online account for documentation and clinical grading SCORM Tracking of Each Student’s Learning Activities and Recording on the Student Dashboard Report Each student’s learning activities such as correctly answering presentation embedded quiz questions, presentation viewing time, Knowledge Quiz completion time, Knowledge Quiz Score, and other learning data, are tracked so that a “learning analysis” can be done for each student and for the quality of each course. This data documents student performance and reports it on the Student Dashboard as well as on the Gradebook. This holds the student accountable for learning. In the future, clinical performance assessment data may be used to identify students who have not learned from the online courses, so that intervention can be made to help the student become proficient. No data is share with any entity. If data is ever used for learning research, all data will be de-identified following research protocol. Who should take this course? Clinical Photography is now and will be essential in the dental practice of the future. Every dental practitioner, dental hygienist, dental assistant, orthodontist, orthodontic resident, other specialty resident, orthodontic assistant, and dental student should know how to produce excellent clinical photographs. It is recommended that initial photographs be taken at all New Patient Orthodontic Exams so that they may be used to communicate with the patient. Progress and Post-Treatment photos should be used to document patient status and to learn from the treatment the clinician is providing. Ideally, dental students, dental hygiene students, dental assisting students and other dental practitioner students should be taught and use these photography procedures when in training.
COURSE NAME : 30.14 Uploading Photos into Dolphin Imaging Software Course
COURSE DESCRIPTION : 30.14 Uploading Photos into Dolphin Imaging Software Course Presentation: 20 minutes Run Time, Knowledge Quiz: 9 Questions, 1 CE Credit Contents of the Uploading Photos into Dolphin Imaging Course This course teaches how to download a patient’s clinical photographs from a camera and then upload them into the patient’s Dolphin Imaging layout so they will meet a high standard. This layout of 9 photos is then uploaded to Invisalign if the patient decides to pursue Invisalign treatment. Goal of this course is to train the learner to select and download a patient’s photographs from a camera and then upload the images into a 9-photo layout editing them to meet specific standards to facilitate correct diagnosis. Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, the student will be able to: Find, select, and download a patient’s clinical photographs from a camera into a computer folder. Select a composite layout for 9 photos that includes the Close-up of the Smile image place holder Drag, drop, enlarge, and rotate each clinical image to the proper location on the layout and then edit the layout so that the images meet specific standards that will assist in diagnosis Save the layout in the patient’s chart and label it properly Place the “raw” images in the patient’s photo folder labelling them with the date, stage of treatment, and patient’s details. Sections of the Uploading Photos into Dolphin Imaging Course This course was originally created to teach dental students at NYU how to take orthodontic clinical photographs, download them from the camera into a computer, and then into an Axium folder. From there the photos were uploaded into a Dolphin Imaging 9-photos layout which could be uploaded to Invisalign. Then the dental students would load the raw patient photos into the patient’s Axium software. 1. Cut the clinical photos in the camera and then paste them into the local computer software. This way the photos are removed from the camera and inserted into the patient’s local file following HIPPA protocol 2.Set up in Dolphin Imaging software the Composite 9 layout so there will be a position in the layout for the Close up of the Smile clinical photograph. Orthodontists are usually not trained to capture this image even though it documents much critical information such as tooth display, dark buccal corridors, and dental and facial midline coincidence. It is also a useful photo to show patients before-and-after smiles that are more normal than the frontal image without lips. 3.Drag and Drop the clinical images of the patient to the Composite 9 layout. 4. Edit and enlarge the Extraoral photos making them all the same size and horizontally parallel to the interpupillary line. 5. Edit and enlarge the Close up of the Smile, the Frontal, the Right and Left Laterals, and the Occlusal images making them the same sizes. 6. Save the Layout to the Patient’s Photos Folder to be uploaded to Invisalign if the patient selects this type of treatment. Learning Activities of the Course The learner views this course presentation as many times as it takes to understand the important concepts, which may be measured by answering the 9 embedded quiz questions correctly. These quiz questions help the learner focus on the important points. Then the learner rests his/her brain so the learning can be transferred to long term memory. Then the learner takes the Knowledge Quiz for the course to measure his/her learning of the objectives of the course with a passing score of 80%. SCORM Tracking of Each Student’s Learning Activities and Recording on the Student Dashboard Report Each student’s learning activities such as correctly answering presentation embedded quiz questions, presentation viewing time, Knowledge Quiz completion time, Knowledge Quiz Score, and other learning data, are tracked so that a “learning analysis” can be done for each student and for the quality of each course. This data documents student performance and reports it on the Student Dashboard as well as on the Gradebook. This holds the student accountable for learning. No data is share with any entity. If data is ever used for learning research, all data will be de-identified following research protocol. Every dental practitioner who provides orthodontic treatment and documents initial findings and progress findings using Dolphin Imaging software, or dental training institutions that use Axium should complete this course. All dentists, orthodontists, residents, and dental students should know how to upload the patient’s photos to digital imaging software as described in this course. This course should be taught to all orthodontic residents, dental students, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and orthodontic assistants when they are in training.
