Reviews / Votes
"It would be of great benefit to those preparing forpostgraduate examinations, such as MFDS, with its emphasis onproblem posing and clinical management and its purposeful omissionof exhaustive detail surrounding the methodology of basicorthograde root canal treatment. An exceedingly supportivetext." (VVT Magazine, 1 March 2012) "These minor criticisms should not deter the student ofendodontology from purchasing this latest addition to theendodontic literature as it is certainly a departure from thestandard textbook format which presents the study of endodontics ina new and easily read "take- home- message" light. A worthwhilepurchase which will not leave the reader disappointed but ratherlooking forward to the next edition which I am sure won't be toolong before it is at the publisher!." (Sydney Dental Hospital,2011) "The problem-based learning approach lends itself brilliantlyto the field of endodontology in this highly palatable contemporarytext." (British Dental Journal, 25 November 2011)More details
