Dentistry Books

I recently had to study for the Radiation Health and Safety exam. I borrowed a copy of this book to quiz my knowledge on the subject. I plan on buying a copy to keep for myself. I not only strenghtened the knowledge I already had, but I also learned facts that I wasn't aware of. This book is detailed and extremely easy to use. The answers are given with an explaination. Any one that is studying for a test or anyone that just wants to keep sharp on a subject will benefit from this book.

I first met Dr. Mayes during one of my visits to USA, and I had the honor to get in touch with his book "Dental Benefits" when it was still being prepared in his office in Hershey,PA. That time he told me the book will focus also the Dental PPOs, considering the exploding grow on the last years. When finally the book came published, I could confirm not only that PPOs were there, but the were many other interesting subjects related to all the business of Dental Plan in USA. The book is so completed that we invited Dr. mayes to visit Brazil and share your temendous knowledge and experience in Dental Benefits with our local market key executives. The firt Seminar of Dental Plans Management took place at American Chambers of Commerce of São Paulo, 26th and 27th of September 2002 and his book "Dental Benefits" were included for each participant of the Seminar. Since then the wook is largely used for many people, including the Agencia Nacional de Saúde Suplementar(ANS), the federal government agency for dental and health plans regulation. A significant part of Dr. Mayes book was also translated and used by ANS in the Referral Material in their first publication on Dental Plans - "Planos Odontológicos: Uma Abordagem Economica no Contexto Regulatório".
This and many other facts prove that Dr. Mayes book is not applicable for the "American Dental Benefits" , but for "World Dental Benefits" . Certainly it has a great value for the brazilian Dental Market at the present "growing" moment.

Basic information about oral health and dental care has been updated for this second edition of Omnigraphic's Dental Care And Oral Health Sourcebook, including reviews of such common problems as bad breath, gum disease, dry mouth and oral cancers. Medical data on implants and crowns are also included, along with updates on current research, making Dental Care And Oral Health Sourcebook an invaluable consumer's health reference.

I had to re-order this book as another seller took two weeks before letting me know they did not have the book I purchased. So I purchased from this seller and did express shipping with no problems.

When the textbook came out, it was considered quite advanced in the concepts concerning dental hygiene diagnosis, treatment plans, and care. Now that these concepts are finally being considered mainstream, the textbook still delivers the information needed for not only basic dental hygiene care, but restorative and pain control care. I hope that the next edition covers more in the area of ultrasonics and the latest in periodontal disease technology in diagnosis and care. Knowing the level of excellence in this textbook, I am sure it will be included.

I just got my copy and I am reading through it. The chapters on caries and periodontal disease are very current. I will be able to add these not only to my CE courses but to my research studies in oral biology. Thank you for this timely textbook.

This book was selected for inclusion in "Core Collection in Nursing and the Allied Health Sciences" from Oryx Press, 1990.

It would be impossible to read this book and not be a more knowledgable dental patient. It answers all of the queations that a dental patient would like to know in a straight forward and easy to understand manner.

This book is full of pearls that dental staff members would enjoy. It takes less than 1 hour to read---an hour well spent.

This book was brought to my attention by a friend who thought I ought to read it. To summerize, it is collection of incredible deeds done by very dedicated dentists. Dentists dedicated not only to being the best at their professions, but dedicated to being extraordinary humanitarians. The 10 dentists who are profiled in this book are truly the best of the best. I recommend this book to anyone who has any doubts that any one person can make incredible positive changes in our communities and in our world. I especially enjoyed the Chapter 7 profile on Dr. Jeremiah Lowney and his sucessful humanitarian endevors on the island of Haiti. Get this book. It will make you go do something good!

I'm a young orthodontist and I always heard aboud Dr. Brodie. Now I can read from his lectures and get to my own conclusions. I recomend it for everyone who wants to be an orthodontist or is studying orthodontics.
