Abstract

The unprecedented educational challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to offer opportunities to update, improve and strengthen the dental curriculum. Intra-oral radiographic methods were restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic due to their aerosol-generating nature, which resulted in extra-oral radiographs being predominantly used.1The strict usage of face masks during the pandemic, which continues to date, emerged a new patient preparation error in dental radiology.
