This highly popular text presents everything that an undergraduate dental student, postgraduate student or general dental practitioner needs to know in order to safely capture high-quality clinical images and accurately interpret their findings.

In this latest edition, both traditional methods of imaging and new modalities are explored - specifically cone beam CT - and a new author has been brought on board to bring a fresh approach to the subject area.

Written in an accessible manner, which avoids unnecessary detail, each page spread has been carefully designed to ensure clarity of understanding by the reader to facilitate both examination success and confidence and safety in the clinical situation. Topics address the whole BDS curriculum and range from the physics of imaging and radiation protection to infection control and regional image interpretation.

Perfect for undergraduate students, post-graduate students, specialist trainees and general dental practitioners alike, Essentials of Dental Radiography and Radiology has become the ‘must-have’ volume for all readers who practise or who intend to practise clinical dentistry.

    • Provides a comprehensive account of the radiology and radiography topics usually examined at undergraduate and postgraduate level
    • Clear and accessible approach to the subject makes learning especially easy
    • More than 1100 illustrations – many of them updated - present clinical, diagnostic and practical information in an accessible manner
    • Contains recent classifications and advanced imaging modalities including cone beam CT imaging techniques
    • An online, regularly updated, summary of the current UK ionising radiation legislation and guidance on good practice for all dental practitioners as well as a summary of the latest UK guidance in relation to the use of Cone Beam CT (CBCT) equipment

    • An all new online self assessment questions and answers module. Questions have been specially prepared for each of the 32 chapters to enable students to assess their own knowledge and understanding as they prepare for examinations. These include a mixture of single best answer and multiple correct answer questions, drag and drop identification of radiological anatomy as well as new examples of various pathological conditions to enable practice of diagnostic skills.

    • Includes a new chapter on cone beam technology and numerous examples of advanced imaging throughout the book
