Editorial Review:
Product Description:
This comprehensive, well-established textbook presents the basic principles of clinical radiology. It's designed not only for students in dental hygiene and dental assisting programs, but for practicing hygienists and assistants who'd like a review for interpreting radiographs and troubleshooting errors. Describing techniques with step-by-step procedures and illustrations, the topics include: basic x-ray generation, image formation, film mounting, biologic effects of radiation, lesions, infection control, film processing and interpretation, intraoral and extraoral techniques, panoramic radiography, patient management, and legal considerations.
- Logical organization of topics presents the material in an efficient way for better comprehension and enhanced readability.
- "Step-by-step" procedure boxes clearly illustrate the proper techniques for performing routine and complex radiographic procedures.
- Boxes highlight common errors encountered when dealing with radiographic technique and provide remedies for resolving the problem.
- Each chapter includes a content outline, educational objectives, and key terms.
- A comprehensive glossary is located at the back of the book for quick reference.
- The inclusion of tables, boxes, line art, and illustrations are important tools for student learning.
- A two-color design makes the images more instructive, interesting, and appealing.
- Four new chapters are added: The dental x-ray machine, Quality assurance, Principles of interpretation, and The temporomandibular joint.
- The chapter on radiation protection is expanded to two separate chapters: Radiation protection for the patient and Radiation protection for the operator.
- The chapters on digital imaging and newer imaging systems are completely revised to include new cutting-edge imaging modalities such as computed tomography.
- Chapters are now designed to accommodate one-hour lectures.
- New clinical photos, added color, and improved line drawings.
- Evolve website offers valuable instructor materials, such as a test bank of 350 questions (discussion, fill-in-the-blank, and multiple-choice), educational objectives, chapter outlines, and helpful teaching tips and strategies.
