Book Description
Here's an update of the popular, easy-to-carry guide that takes the work - and the errors - out of interpreting radiographs. The new edition of this reasonably priced, soft-cover atlas features over 470 clear views of all intra- and extra-oral regions. Facing each page of illustrations is a page of captions that describe and differentiate between normal and abnormal anatomic features, and highlight diagnostically important characteristics of each radiograph presented. The new edition weights the applications, problems and potential of newer imaging systems and helps you anticipate complications. It also gives increased coverage of factors that create misleading images.

Synopsis
The purpose of this book is to teach dental students, dental hygiene students and dental assisting students to identify dental radiographic landmarks as well as film artifacts and technical errors. Teeth are shown in various stages of development, condition and treatment. The book includes new material on periodontal bone loss, dilacerated roots, taurodonts and MRI.

Synopsis
Dental Radiology provides a broad overview of the normal and abnormal appearance of teeth and jaws on x-ray images. Abnormalities are grouped according to their location or their main presenting feature. Recognition of abnormalities, and interpretation of their radiographic appearance is assisted by a clear review of normal appearances and the production of the standard x-ray views used in dentistry This book is intended for undergraduate dental students, practising dentists, trainee oral radiologists, and radiographers.

Book Description
Second edition of a successful undergraduate textbook of dental radiography and radiology. The first edition was adopted in a large number of dental schools as it was the only book offering the dental undergraduate an account of both radiology and radiography presented in an accessible format with flow diagrams, short paragraphs and lots of illustrations. The second edition has been thoroughly updated to take account of changes in film types, intensifying screens, X-ray equipment etc. Chapter 7 has been completely rewritten to incorporate changes in preventing cross infection. Digital radiography is now included, as well as information on the expanded treatment of CT and MR. Chapter layouts have been improved, and all illustrations now have text directly beneath them making it easier for students to pick out features relating to lesions.

Synopsis
Aimed primarily at undergraduates of dental surgery, this text attempts to provide a basic and practical account of both dental radiography and radiology. This second edition has been updated to take account of changes in film types, intensifying screens, and X-ray equipment.

Book Description
NOW this popular text is even better! It features expanded coverage of pathology, including oral diseases and disorders, and lesions affecting the jaws. Plus, it contains more examples of common panoramic operating errors, panoramic patient positioning errors and technique, and examples of materials and foreign objects seen on panoramic films. Over 50 new figures have been added to the illustrated review questions ... and 60 new questions have been added to the multiple choice section. A great help for students preparing for the boards!

Synopsis
The third edition of this question-and-answer text on radiographic interpretation, offers over 400 radiographic views as the basis for questioning the reader about film handling, exposures, processing errors and positioning problems as well as interpretation, anomalies and diagnosis. The extensive answer section at the back of the book provides correct responses, and where appropriate, describes the basis or the answer. In this edition, the material on panoramic patient positioning and operator errors has been expanded and the review questions for national and state boards have been increased and updated. The questions themselves have been based on case histories and radiographic views. This edition also includes expanded coverage of pathology, including oral diseases/disorders and lesions affecting the jaw. At the same time, five new tables in the answer section enhance coverage of panoramic radiology.

Book Description
The third edition of ORAL RADIOLOGY (formerly authored by Paul Goaz, now deceased) has sold over 11,000 copies since publication in March of 1994. It is the dominant textbook on imaging for the dental student. It is used in approximately 44 dental schools and numerous hygiene programs. The fourth edition continues to combine principles and interpretation in one well-illustrated source necessary for the student to complete the four year course requirement for graduation. Among its many strengths are a straightforward logical organisation, over 1000 high-quality illustrations, specialised imaging techniques such as MRI and CT, and a comprehensive discussion of radiographic interpretation and pathologic conditions. Thirty chapters are organised into five sections - Physics of Radiation, Biological Effects of Radiation, Radiation Safety and Protection, Imaging Principles and Techniques, and Radiographic Interpretation of Pathology.

Crisp, clear images are the key to successful dental radiography. The distinguished authors of Principles of Dental Imaging know it's all in the technique. Drs. Langland and Langlais approach radiology at a perfect level for students. They provide abundant, superior art and numerous high-quality radiographs and photographs that will enhance your visual memory of pertinent images. The book facilitates quick learning through:

*Easy-to-read chapters
*Self-assessment features
*Logical organization

The thorough coverage of imaging technique is augmented by a strong foundation in interpretation, making Principles of Dental Imaging an indipensable resource for all students of dental imaging.

Book Description
The New Edition of this popular text systematically presents the theory and practice of contemporary dental radiography including new digital techniques. Its unique organisation parallels the structure of most courses, introducing technique, procedures, film processing, film characteristics, and the basics of radiation physics, before discussing the interpretation of images.
