4.0 out of 5 stars A detailed but user-friendly text., 17 Jan 2001
By A Customer
'The Principles of Dental Imaging' is by no means a concise text. All aspects of 'the dental radiograph' are covered in great but good detail. This book is aimed specifically with students in mind and this is obvious by the simply-structured layout - 5 sections ranging from the basic concepts of radiologic imaging and techniques, through to radiation health and image interpretation. What really stands out are the large and simple diagrams which illustrate most aspects of the text. This feature, interspersed with the well sub-headed text, makes the information much easier to digest. Not only does the book discuss the technical side of imaging, it also extensively covers how to correct common imaging mistakes and even gives advice on how to manage nervous and difficult patients! At the end of every section, there are laboratory exercises for the keener students and case-based problem solving for the more sedentary ones! Having taken many radiographs as a student, this book has some excellent diagrams and photographs on how to take intra-oral radiographs - the visual aids in this particular chapter are brilliant in explaining how best to position equipment, especially in the more difficult regions of the mouth! There are also some memorable and original diagrams on how to identify hard and soft tissue anatomy on radiographs. The authors have included some specific chapters on diagnosis of periodontal disease, caries and periapical pathology, which integrates the technicalities of imaging with clinical situations, which students will find particularly relevant. However, the chapter on 'Quality Control Procedures' was slightly long-winded and intense, compared with the rest of the text. Amongst 419 pages, there is not much mention of alternative and specialized imaging modalities, such as contrast studies, radioisotope imaging, computed tomography, digital radiography, ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. These are also important areas of dental imaging which students should be aware of, so it is a shame that this book concentrates exclusively on radiographic imaging. All in all, this is a clear and user-friendly book for students requiring in-depth details on this subject. Don't be too put off by the rather substantial size of the book - the authors have stayed away from the waffle and produced a readable book which is fairly good value for money but check that it covers your course syllabus first.
