Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology

Description

From the Back Cover The Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology presents an extensive case collection of both common and less common conditions of the jaws and teeth. Focusing on the essentials of radiologic interpretation, this is a go-to companion for clinicians in everyday practice who have radiologically identified a potential abnormality, as well as a comprehensive study guide for students at all levels of dentistry, surgery and radiology. Key Features Unique lesion-based problem solving chapter makes this an easy-to-use reference in a clinical setting Includes 2D intraoral radiography, the panoramic radiograph, cone beam CT, multidetector CT and MRI Multiple cases are presented in order to demonstrate the variation in the radiological appearances of conditions affecting the jaws and teeth Special focus on conditions where diagnostic imaging may substantially contribute to diagnosis The text includes a comprehensive chapter dedicated to the temporomandibular joint. Since imaging in dentistry, especially cone beam CT, often demonstrates the sinonasal structures, upper aerodigestive tract morphology, skull base and cervical spine, chapters dedicated to these regions are also included. Covering panoramic radiograph and orofacial cone beam CT radiologic anatomy in detail, the Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology is a must-have companion for all practitioners and students alike.
