Description

This edited volume highlights oral diagnostic tools and techniques from a physicist�s viewpoint. Individual chapters have been prepared by academicians as well as practitioners, with the basics of oral diagnostics presented at the start of each chapter, followed by discussion of the state-of-the-art of these tools and techniques. These chapters not only form part of this comprehensive edited collection, but they also possess a standalone character, meaning this book suits the needs of a wide range of audiences. Some of the major tools discussed include molecular spectroscopy for oral diagnostics, CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), which is a highly innovative dental diagnostic procedure, the application of MRI in dental pathologies, radiography as a diagnosis tool for oral hard tissue diseases, among other important physics-based techniques. Key Features: Highlights the physics behind various diagnostic techniques used in dentistry Offers a consistent bottom-up approach in a pedagogical style Covers cutting edge topics such as molecular diagnostic techniques, CBCT, MRI and radiography Global spread of researchers from different disciplines from both dentistry and physicsTypham this is the title: Oral Diagnostics Tools and Techniques A Physicist�s Approach
