Dental students are going to love this book!

As a recent graduate, I can say that dental students love this book and have done so since the first edition. Now, as hospital trainees, this book is still in all of our bags.

Its clearly defined chapters offer excellent and concise best principles for nearly all aspects of dentistry. It is an essential aide memoire for clinical practice, whether dealing with an obscure presentation of phemphigus or the splinting of an intruded central incisor.

We all need a quick reminder or reassurance from time to time, and this book is it.

The new edition of this pocket guide covers the whole of clinical dentistry in a brief but concise manner. The main updates to this edition have been the revision of the restorative and periodontology sections, plus the inclusion of many more colour pictures and diagrams distributed throughout the text. Finally, to the delight of every student scrambling towards finals, the section on bisphosphonates has been expanded to reflect its increasing importance to the practice of modern dentistry.
