Dentists and oral surgeons rely on various imaging modalities to diagnose problems with the head and neck. Radiographs (x-rays) are a common way to visualize the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. The Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology is a beautiful resource that helps clinicians understand how to interpret radiographs and use them to make diagnoses. In this blog post, we will introduce you to the atlas and discuss some of its features.

The Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology is an essential resource for anyone who needs to interpret radiographs of the head and neck region. This atlas is a comprehensive reference that includes more than 1,000 high-quality radiographs, organized by body part and pathology. The images are accompanied by clear, concise text that explain the findings and help readers understand how to use radiographs in diagnosis. If you are a dentist, oral surgeon, or other clinician who relies on radiographs to make diagnoses, this atlas is an invaluable resource.
