Roentgenology “The scientific dentist must concede that it is absolutely impossible to practice properly, thoroughly, without the assistance of roentgenolo- gy as an aid to diagnosis. There can be no discussion on that point. It is final. No factor in the practice of dentistry plays a more important part. And when we contemplate the few short years within which the science has been developed to the very high point of precision already attained, it is an outstanding compliment to the pioneers in the field and to those who have continued the research work with the beneficent good attending; for the development and enlarging of the science of dental diagnosis and prognosis were accompanied by romance and drama that hold spellbound the student delving deeply into the heroic history of it all. “Theories born of bare experiences and meagre knowledge led to discoveries demanding and exacting martyrdom, even death, before truth unfolded itself for us and future generations. No part of the progress toward wider information about our physical and nervous system has been more important than the modern concepts of dental hygiene and therapeutics; for, while unknown and untold the real value must ever remain, modern dentistry has become the indispensable handmaiden of modern medicine.” Dental Roentgenology, Ennis and Ray

“To make a thorough study of the theory of the roentgen ray, the apparatus, the technique of using it, and the inter- pretation of the completed roentgenogram is no definitely small and circumscribed field. Rather it is a very large, and almost unlimited field if properly explored, and to attempt anything less than a full study of the field is doing things od 99 improperly.
