Description
Veterinary dentistry has now developed into a major specialty with developments in materials and techniques evolving at a rapid pace. As in the previous edition, this handbook presents practical guidance to the techniques required in small animal dentistry for the veterinarian. This thoroughly revised text encompasses new material, including a more thorough approach to the treatment of feline subgingival resorptive lesions, the handling of immature teeth with necrotic pulps and the extraction of the incisors of small domestic herbivores. The techniques for these and numerous other conditions are described in the detailed step-by-step approach that proved so successful in the first edition. This handbook is designed as a working manual and is specially bound to facilitate easy use. It is intended for veterinarians, veterinary students and those taking BVDA and AVDS veterinary dental courses.
