OREWORD
I am privileged to write a foreword to the book titled Textbook of Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology
(2nd Edition) authored by Dr Freny R Karjodkar, Professor and Head of the Department of
Oral Medicine and Radiology, and I/C Head of the Department of Pathology, Nair Dental
College. She has over 20 years of experience in areas of teaching and scientific research and
succeeded in compiling a comprehensive book on essentials of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
The author has directed her understanding of the subject to the dental surgeons and the
undergraduate and postgraduate students and has achieved in producing an eminently
readable, comprehensive text with high quality illustrations. The book not only covers the basic principles and
interpretation of conventional radiographic procedures but also gives detailed information regarding the newer
imaging modalities like CT and MRI with the production, basic physics involved, techniques and interpretation
of the obtained images and the normal anatomic landmarks. The subject has been discussed in the
comprehensive manner to make it easy for the undergraduates to understand. The newer advances in the field
have been discussed in detail for the benefit of the postgraduate students. Chapters have been added on
implant imaging and forensic dental radiology.
This book is an excellent contribution to our scientific literature. I wish her all the best.

REFACE TO THE ECOND DITION
When a storm assaults a tree
Its weakest boughs that fall …
It's the rotten branch that crashes
In the fury of the gale…
When the storm of interpretive technologies comes raging
It's the point where knowledge is weakest
That collapses with the strain …
Do look to your defenses and where time has worn them
Mark the places that need repairing…
And before the storm begins… Do the work of restoration
Do it now…
"What the mind doesn't know, the eye doesn't see…"
This is true especially with reference to interpretation of radiographs and other diagnostic imaging modalities. It is
with this very thought in mind that the second edition of the Textbook of Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology has been
written for the new generation of dental students and the practitioners, so that they can update their knowledge.
The past three decades have witnessed great advances in the field of diagnostic imaging. Many of these advances
have greatly facilitated the diagnosis and treatment of a number of maxillofacial disorders. These modalities while
employing different physical principles, are often complimentary, providing valuable information about different
aspects of a given disease process.
Many chapters have been entirely rewritten and the rest of the text has been significantly revised, reorganized
and updated. These major changes are necessary to reflect the increasing complexity and sophistication of this
expanding field. The number of chapters has increased from eighteen to thirty seven with the underlying aim to
include all pathologies that a general practitioner could encounter about which diagnostic imaging technique to opt
for and how to read and interpret the resulting image obtained.
Separate chapters on CT, MRI imaging techniques and their basic interpretation and landmarks seen on a CT
and MRI plate have been discussed. New topics of growing importance in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology like,
role of Oral Radiology in Forensic Medicine and Implant Radiology have been added.
