Few dentists can match Holmes’ powers of observation and deduction and this little book should prove invaluable to them in preparing for the slide projection test of the FDS, or similar postgraduate, or even undergraduate, examinations. In 2 12, almost uniformly excellent clinical photographs, radiographs and photomicrographs, with questions and answers, Drs Lamey and Lewis provide an entertaining and informative quiz, successfully covering the major disciplines in general dentistry at just the right level. Equally, you can use it for a personal selfassessment, which certainly exposed the deficiencies in my own knowledge. Inspired guess-work is needed to identify the Paget’s disease depicted in figures 160 and 161 and only the nocturnal could decipher the murky radiograph in figure 8. In the next edition, an accompanying history and a better photomicrograph could be provided for the case of lichen planus shown in figure 51, but I suppose that minor injustices of this kind are, in themselves, all part of the average FDS examination. This book can be strongly recommended for such candidates, keen undergraduates and to any dentists feeling dangerously complacent about their general level of knowledge. D. M. Walker
A Guide to Dental Radiography, 3rd edition. Rita A. Mason. Pp. 226. 1988. Guildford, Butterworths. Softback, f 15.95. This third edition of A Guide to Dental Radiography has grown to 13 chapters and 226 pages. The book gives a complete description of all intraoral and extraoral techniques. For intraoral radiography paralleling, bisecting angle and occlusal film techniques are described in detail and the advantages of the ‘long cone’ technique stated. In addition to the chapters on extraoral techniques there are separate chapters describing radiography of the facial bones (including temporomandibular joint radiography), salivary glands and dental radiography for children. There is an extensive chapter on panoramic radiography describing the theoretical background to what the author terms ‘dental panoramic tomography’. Practical descriptions are given of how to operate panoramic machines and the effects of incorrect positioning of the patient are carefully illustrated. The chapters on radiation protection, factors affecting the radiograph, processing and image quality assurance all give the important background on how to diminish the damaging effects of X-rays but at the same time achieve a high quality radiograph. Different ways of keeping the dose to the patient as low as possible are emphasized within the description of each radiographic technique and there are many practical hints of use to the practitioner, in particular, some excellent summaries of advantages and disadvantages of the techniques described. The book is easy to read and the illustrations are carefully selected and reproduced to a very high quality. The guide is especially useful to the dental practitioner, but can also be highly recommended as a textbook for students of dental radiography. A. Petersson
