Review :
"The book should be of value to undergraduate and postgraduate dental professionals, and junior hospital dental staff and additionally as a succinct and accessible reference text for the general dental practitioner and team." (BDA News, 1 March 2011) "The book is published in hardback which should make it very durable. It will be of great value to all members of the dental team as well as students revising for examinations and busy practitioners requiring rapid access to the topics in an easy-to-read form. The authors' knowledge of both the subject material and their experience in practice and instructing students means that the book is full of essential information laid out clearly and in an understandable way." (Dental Update, 1 December 2010)
