Essentials of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, 3/E for BDS and MDS Students | 800+ Radiographic Images with CBCT, Digital Radiography, 4D Imaging and 3D Printing in Dentistry: 1

Essentials of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, 3rd Edition is a comprehensive, image-led reference covering every aspect of diagnostic oral and maxillofacial radiology, built around more than 800 high-quality radiographic images and illustrations. The book moves through six sections spanning the full breadth of the subject: an introduction to the history of dental radiography; the physics of ionizing radiation (radiation physics, properties and production of X-rays); radiation and health physics (radiation biology and protection); imaging principles (ideal and faulty radiographs, radiographic prescription, films, processing); imaging techniques (intraoral and extraoral radiography, panoramic radiography, cone-beam computed tomography, digital radiography); and radiographic diagnosis of pathology affecting the jaws, covering normal anatomy, dental caries, periodontal disease, developmental anomalies, infections, cysts, benign and malignant tumors, fibro-osseous bone disease, temporomandibular joint disorders, maxillary sinus disorders, soft-tissue calcifications and dental trauma. This third edition adds new coverage of 4D imaging and the principles and applications of 3D printing in dentistry, and closes with a bonus case-reports chapter that lets readers apply everything they have learned to real clinical scenarios. A structured layout pairs descriptive text with illustrations that present normal radiographic anatomy alongside the pathological changes of disease, complete with differential diagnoses throughout, and genuine copies include complimentary online student resource MCQs. Who This Book Is For: BDS Students: a comprehensive, systematically organized undergraduate reference for the full oral and maxillofacial radiology syllabus. MDS Students: sufficient depth on imaging techniques, CBCT and radiographic pathology to serve as a postgraduate reference. Practicing Dentists: a clinically relevant, differential-diagnosis-focused resource for interpreting radiographs in everyday practice. Dental Radiographers: detailed, well-illustrated coverage of imaging techniques, equipment and quality assurance. Why This Book Helps: Builds true interpretive skill: normal radiographic anatomy is presented directly alongside the pathological changes of disease, with differential diagnoses included throughout. Keeps pace with modern imaging: dedicated, in-depth coverage of cone-beam computed tomography and digital radiography, now extended with 4D imaging and 3D printing in dentistry. Applies learning to practice: the bonus case-reports chapter consolidates knowledge in a real clinical-scenario format. Supports self-assessment: complimentary online student resource MCQs are included with every genuine copy. Key Features: More than 800 high-quality radiographic images and illustrations across 830 pages. Comprehensive radiographic-pathology coverage: caries, periodontal disease, cysts, benign and malignant jaw tumors, TMJ and maxillary sinus disorders, and dental trauma. New in this edition: 4D imaging and the principles and applications of 3D printing in dentistry. Bonus final chapter of case reports for applied, practical learning. Complimentary online student resource MCQs with every genuine book. Read more
