Key Features
A consistent format makes it easy to follow and comprehend clinical
material on each pathologic condition, including a definition, synonyms,
clinical features, radiographic features, differential diagnosis, and
management/treatment.
Updated photos show new equipment and radiographs in the areas of
intraoral radiographs, normal radiographic anatomy, panoramic imaging,
and advanced imaging.
Updated Digital Imaging chapter expands coverage of PSP plates and its
use in cephalometric and panoramic imaging, examining the larger
latitudes of photostimulable phosphor receptors and their linear
response to the five orders of magnitude of x-ray exposure.
Updated Guidelines for Prescribing Dental Radiographs chapter includes
the latest ADA guidelines, and also discusses the European Guidelines.
Updated information on radiographic manifestations of diseases in the
orofacial region includes the latest data on etiology and diagnosis,
with an emphasis on advanced imaging.
Expert contributors include many authors with worldwide reputations.
New to this Edition
Cone Beam Computed Tomography chapter covers machines, the imaging
process, and typical clinical applications of cone-beam imaging, with
examples of examinations made from scans.
Evolve website adds more coverage of cases, with more examples of
specific issues.
