Description: This book details uses for computer imaging in today's dental practices and how it complements esthetic dental procedure and diagnosis. This is a good sourcebook for selecting computers and what to expect from them.
Purpose: The purpose is to introduce computer imaging technology into the dental practice. Advice is given for the pre-purchase stage, step-by-step techniques, and tips for initial use of imaging.

Features: There are good quality illustrations and several different types of graphs, charts, and step-by-step illustrations are provided. All of the information presented in this book is current and the subject matter is presented in an adequate manner. The overall appearance is very pleasing; an important aspect since this book deals with esthetic dentistry.
Assessment: This is a much needed basic book on a new aspect in dental practice. It gives a good overview of the basics required when investigating information on this highly technical subject as well as step-by-step approaches to its uses. It would best be suited in the libraries and offices of any dental practitioner.
