Amazon Quotes from the previous edition This book is invaluable, as a final year dental student I know that when I graduate this book will remain with me for many years. It is the recommended text for dental radiology and quite rightly so! Excellent! Clear and straightforward explanations, making a potentially dull subject enjoyable and informative. Not surprised it's the market leader! Extremely useful when revising IR(ME)R requirements and finals. Good to have handy on your shelf when you need a refresher! I don't think you can pass finals without at least getting it out of your dental school library for long periods. You really ought to have your own copy!.
