An excellent and well-written publication which explains the legislative background to taking radiographs and the need to justify every exposure.Khurana, M. and Martin, M. V. (1999).

This article provides information on the implications for dentistry of this emerging risk.Stephens, C. D. and Isaacson, K. (1990). Practical Orthodontic Assessment. Heinemann Medical Books, Oxford.
This excellent book contains a very good résumé of diagnosis and treatment planning, but consists mainly of clinical cases for the reader to practise upon and learn from.Taylor, N. G. and Jones, A.
