Provides complete and updated information on dental radiology and its applications in dentistry. * Dental films: films used for identification of pulp irregularities, endodontic pathology, and periapical lesions; films used as a tool to determine the cause of odontalgia; films used as a tool to detect cysts within the jaws (parasympathetic) and as a tool to detect tumors within the jaws (direct access). * Oral exams: radiographic images of teeth can help identify possible caries or abnormalities. * Intraoral views: images of tooth roots form important part of an intraoral examination. These are also called panoramic images or panoramic radiographs. * Radiographic evaluation of dentition: evaluation of the relationship between the teeth, bone, periodontal ligament, and facial soft tissues to detect surface irregularities. This includes intraoral examination and orthodontic/dental contouring studies. * Treatment planning: dental treatment planning for restoration of teeth by repairing root caries lesions, designing support for anterior teeth, replacement of missing teeth with implant crowns, performing orthodontic treatment. The book introduces the subject matter in a simple manner with basic concepts covered early on. All important concepts and terms are clearly explained and illustrated with many different images. The text is divided into eleven chapters: I. Radiology: Pre-Dental Education: Overview and History of Radiology in dentistry; Introduction to Radiology and its Applications in dentistry; Dental Contrast Media, Medical Computed Tomography (CT), Dentistry on film, Oral radiography, Orthodontics on film, Oral Radiography for planning Restorations, Intraoral radiographs. II. Radiology: Dental Schools: Course Content and Delivery; Orthodontics. III. Radiology: Dentists and Their Work: Overview and History of Radiology and its Applications in dentistry; The experience of implant surgery; Diagnostic imaging of the oral cavity and teeth – clinical use – radiography – CT – ultrasound – MRI – Flexography – Panoramic radiography - Computed Tomography (CT scanning) – X-rays - ultrasonography - intramedullary nails (IMN) - composite restorations. IV. Radiology: Dental Radiography: Computed Tomography (CT scan); Intraoral radiographs; Orthodontic radiographs. V.
