Rezensionen / Stimmen
"this text is admirably readable, covers a wide scope of material relevant to the management of medically compromised patients in a dental setting, and is likely to be a popular undergraduate text." British Dental Journal "the editor...has done sterling work in marrying the contributions of over 30 experts into a collection of chapters which every dental student and practising dentist will need to know. "...it is written predominantly by doctors but exclusively for dentist who will undoubtedly benefit from the knowledge that their relative specialties afford." BDA News "The book is intended as a guide to human disease for dental students, dentists and professional [sic] complementary to dentistry."as a GDP I found this to be a helpful textbook, with easily accessibly information that achieved its objective and would certainly complement other texts on the subject" Dental Update
