Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to operate dental radiographic equipment and position the patient correctly to produce an intraoral and extraoral diagnostic radiographic image. Where work relates to extraoral radiography this includes orthopantomogram and may include lateral cephalograms (for orthodontic radiographic work-ups) and excludes cone beam radiography. This unit applies to dental assisting work. The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian/New Zealand Standards and industry codes of practice. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Skills must have been demonstrated in the dental clinic workplace with the addition of simulations and scenarios where the full range of contexts and situations has not been provided in the workplace. The requirement in the performance evidence to produce 30 acceptable dental radiographic images in a simulated environment must have been demonstrated using simulation before demonstration in the workplace or with members of the general public. The following conditions must be met for this unit: • use of suitable facilities, equipment and resources including: - barrier protection materials - dental chair and unit - radiographic equipment suitable for taking intraoral and extra-oral radiographs - operator, patient and assistant protective equipment - processing equipment - radiographs and/or sensors - waste disposal equipment - Dental Board of Australia guidelines on infection control on which the candidate bases the planning process • modelling of industry operating conditions including access to real people for simulations and scenarios in dental assisting work. Assessment must involve demonstration of tasks under verbal or written prescription from a dental practitioner. Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors. In addition, assessors must hold a minimum of 5 years clinical experience in dental assisting work. |
