Reviews / Votes
"The book should be of value to undergraduate and postgraduatedental professionals, and junior hospital dental staff andadditionally as a succinct and accessible reference text for thegeneral dental practitioner and team." (BDA News, 1 March2011) "The book is published in hardback which should make it verydurable. It will be of great value to all members of the dentalteam as well as students revising for examinations and busypractitioners requiring rapid access to the topics in aneasy-to-read form. The authors' knowledge of both the subjectmaterial and their experience in practice and instructing studentsmeans that the book is full of essential information laid outclearly and in an understandable way."
