Quotes:
“When we're looking the imaging, when we’re looking at cone beam CTs, or the panoramics, or whatever, we're really thinking about the process of how this person got to that point because your bones are the chronicle of your life. Your body is the chronicle of your life, in general. But when we're talking about cone beam CT and imaging, in general, in dentistry, what we see is the bones, the hard tissues, and whatnot, and these tissues basically will record your life instances, what you do with your body, how you hold yourself, how you carry yourself, how you function, how you chew. All that stuff will reflect on what your bones look like on imaging.”...
