Offering a clear, well-illustrated overview of all major imaging topics in dentistry, Whaites’ Essentials of Dental Radiography and Radiology, 7th Edition, provides key information for dental undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and general dental practitioners. Now fully up to date, this popular text uses an easy-to-understand approach that simplifies complex concepts and makes learning easier and more enjoyable. More than 1,100 illustrations—many new to this edition—present clinical, diagnostic, and practical information in an accessible manner, and clearly demonstrate why dental imaging is essential for diagnosis and management of diseases affecting the teeth and jaws.
Key Features
- Uses a full-colour design to aid navigation and visual understanding, with extensive examples of conventional radiographs, cone beam computed tomography images, and images from other advanced imaging techniques
- Offers self-assessment questions and answers with feedback at the end of each chapter, allowing you to easily track your progress and understanding
- Written by two respected experts in the field of dental and maxillofacial imaging who provide a comprehensive account of the radiography and radiology and topics examined at dental undergraduate and postgraduate level
- An ideal resource for those undertaking undergraduate or specialist examinations in the subject or for general dental practitioners wishing to stay up to date
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
