Andrew Carr

An excellent book, with superb diagrams and, just like the previous editions, extremely well written. Not only does this provide essential knowledge, but can also be a companion for postgraduate students and trainees alike. I am delighted that this shall be utilised as a core text within our undergraduate curriculum.

Essentials of Dental Radiography provides all that is needed for teaching Dental Imaging. It has pleasant imagery to accompany the notes, making it very easy to use as both a teaching aid and as a reference reading material.
