Welcome to the online study guide designed to accompany Essentials of Dental Radiography, 8/e by Orlen N. Johnson and Evelyn M. Thomson. This provides students and instructors with an interactive teaching and learning tool to help you succeed. Here you will find:

• Mounting Challenge exercises that will quiz your ability to assemble a full mouth series for 20 different patients.
• Anatomy Identification exercises that will challenge you to correctly label the structures introduced in Chapter 19 of the text.
• Positioning exercises that simulate the experience of adjusting the PIDs to take radiographs.
• A video on digital radiography that provides an overview of this emerging technology as discussed in Chapter 26.
• Bonus chapter-review exercises in multiple choice, true or false, fill-in-the-blank, and short answer formats. At the completion of each exercise you may submit your answers to receive instant feedback.
• A glossary of all the terms discussed in the text.
• A link to our Dentistry news feed feature, updated regularly by the New York Times.
