Synopses & Reviews
Dental students are required to treat patients from an early stage of their training, and therefore have to assimilate a large amount of information in a relatively short time. In addition, clinical work will often involve different specialties on successive days. This handbook is designed to provide a readily accessible source of information, not only for students but also vocational and hospital trainees, available at the point of need - in the white coat pocket. Particular emphasis is placed on recent techniques and developments which will also be of interest to the more experienced GDP who wishes to keep up-to-date. The whole of clinical dentistry is covered, plus chapters on practice management, law and ethics, medicine relevant to dentistry, and useful information and addresses, in a concise page a subject format, with an adjacent blank page for notes.
Review
"You're the best we'll make you better is the promise of the Top Gun school to its fighter pilots. This handbook is in the same mould...As a specialist I read this handbook with pleasure and shame; pleasure at a lucid concise style and shame at how much I have forgotten that the authors cover comprehensively."--International Dental Journal
