Review quotes
Review quotes
Here is another one of these seemingly indispensable titles that presents itself in a friendly and, more importantly, handy fashion. Complete with a wipe clean plastic cover, it is just the thing to help busy general dental practitioners in the familiarisation or recognition of a myriad of medical conditions that can impinge on dental treatment.
This 300-page paperback is reinforced with plenty of colour illustrations and photographs.
The emphasis of the book is to provide quick reference within clinical settings. It is also an ideal concise, yet usefully image-laden, text to help dental students learn and revise. Even the drawings are beautifully clear.
It would be difficult to devise a more concise yet useful book on this wide-ranging subject and would also be extremely useful for continuing professional development (CPD) revision.
