"As a hospital core trainee with rotations in maxillofacial
surgery and dentistry; this book is a useful companion for
providing guidance when determining the indications and uses of
CBCT. The fact that it is a straightforward read combined with a
fully evidence-based approach makes this text easy to recommend to
surgical and dental colleagues within the primary and secondary
sectors." (British Dental Journal, 25 April
2014)
