Radiology of the mouth and associated structures can initially
be very frustrating. However, once the techniques are mastered,
it is possible to produce high quality diagnostic radiographs consistently.
Dental radiology is often under-utilised in veterinary practice.
In many procedures, diagnostic radiographs are essential for the
production of a treatment plan and treatment may be contraindicated
without them.
By the end of the chapter you should be able to:
Recognise
the advantages of using dental equipment for oral techniques
Understand
the main techniques required for the mouth
Be
able to interpret dental radiographs.
