Seasonal changes in climate have long been recognized in the expert and scientific community as one of the important factors that influence the variability of arterial pressure, which is associated with damage to target organs, increased incidence of cardiovaskular events, total mortality, and damaged rental function.

Materials are substances that have mass and occupy space. They can be classified into several categories according to different criteria such as origin, structure, type, properties or application. Natural materials such as stone and wood are found in nature, while synthetic materials such as polymers and composites are produced. Materials are applied to almost all branches of human activity. Therefore, they are the subject of interest of many professionals. Their application and importance to dental medicine is great.

Radiology is among the fastest developing medical branches. Due to the rapid technological progress, today we use digital radiological methods supplemented by programs that enable dynamic, functional, and metabolic imaging and 3D view. Both radiologists and other medical doctors in Croatia are still quite unacquainted with dental radiology. The analysis od dental X-rays is done mostly by dental medicine doctors alone. Dental radiology accounts for 25% of all radiological examinations in Croatia. Dozens of dental radiology textbooks have been published worldwide. The reason for writing this textbook, in collaboration with other teachers at the School od Dental Medicine was the wish and obligation of the Department of General and Dental radiology, School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, to provide undergraduate and postgraduate students, dental medicine doctors, and other medical professionals an access to contemporary radiological knowledge.

Knjiga je namijenjena studentima dentalne medicine, doktorima, posebice početnicima i specijalizantima svih grana dentalne medicine, a bit će zanimljiva i svima onima koji žele znati više i razumjeti bolje pojedine kliničke postupke iz ovog područja.

Suvremena dentalna medicina teži očuvanju cjelovite denticije kroz različite preventivne i kurativne postupke, a produljenjem trajanja životnoga vijeka populacije u svijetu, i kod nas, različiti terapijski postupci kod pacijenata starije životne dobi predstavljaju izazov za stomatološku praksu.

Dentalna radiologija je dio medicinskog procesa u svim stomatološkim djelatnostima, posebno u endodonciji i restorativnoj stomatologiji, za otkrivanje karijesa, promjena pulpe, periapikalnih i parodontalnih promjena te trauma zubi.
