DDMFR Part B - suggested reading list
The Diploma in Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology (DDMFR) Examination Board considers that the following publications are among the more helpful available for DDMFR Examination candidates. The list applies to current editions. It is clearly not appropriate that the whole of every book should be read. The list has been prepared as a guide for candidates and their trainers. It is appreciated that trainers may also recommend other suitable titles.
