while the book is fairly easy to read and organized, there are many errors. There are several places where Maxillary and Mandibular words are interchanged or incorrectly identified such as in the bisecting angles chapter. The tests at the end of several chapters have obvious errors that even teachers could not explain. The answer key the instructors had also gave incorrect answers sometimes. There is no answer key in the book for students to access which makes self-testing/studying less effective.Plus the pages fall out easily after little use.These types of mistakes make me doubt information in the book that may actually be accurate.This is not a completely useless book, but by college standards, i find these type of errors unacceptable.

Book had all the information and was very helpful, but was cheaply made and the pages would fall out.

This book is exactly what I was looking for. It gave me all the information I needed to pass my National Board Certification in Dental Radiography. It gave me techniques, study questions, and the entire exam online so I can test my knowledge. Thank You, !

I received my book promptly and in good condition, would definately utilize these services again and make recommendations to my friends and family

Easy to read, clear pictures and comprehensive topics. Overall this is a good radiology reference for dentistry and I recommend it for all who might need more visual aids to understand the types of different radiographs.

It's a big help

Book is great I learned a lot from it and I just ot my x ray license ! Very good book! In great condition!

I got the book way before I expected, and from the outside everything looked new. As i started using the book, I realized that it had pages missing from the end of the chapter. I was disappointed in that but luckily my professor prints out these pages for the class since they are review questions.
