We are pleased to bring you this publication of Currents. It is a unique issue because it includes two articles by radiologists. The cover article, Radiographic Exam for the Pregnant Dental Patient, was written by Dr. Dania Tamimi. The topic of taking x-rays on a dental patient has always been a concern for technologists, and Dr. Tamimi "covered the areas" of concern. Dr. Tamimi was one of the speakers at the AADMRT Spring Conference in Universal City last March, and has become very involved with our organization.

The second radiologist, Dr. Anita Gohel, shared a case study that explained the radiographic findings for an Odontogenic Keratocyst. We observe cysts on CBCT scans and panoramics almost daily, and radiographically OKC's, ameloblastomas, and dentigerous cysts may look alike. It is interesting to try to differentiate between the different cysts.

You will be seeing more case studies in future newsletters. Please email the editor or assistant editor if you have a study that would be good for the newsletter. editor@aadmrt.com.
