Dentistry Books

This book reviews and describes the uses for lasers in oral and maxillofacial surgery and dentistry. Purpose: The main purpose is to serve as an instructional guide and reference for the practitioner using laser surgery. Audience: The primary audience for this text is practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeons or plastic surgeons using laser surgery in the oral cavity. Features: The best features of this text are the color photos and illustrations. The book lacks adequate references. Assessment: This is a good supplemental book for practitioners using lasers in the oral cavity, but I do not feel it is good primary text for beginners.

My daughter has a heart defect and I've used this and 2 of her other books to obtain "flow-through grants" to help with the medical expenses. Try looking in your hospital library for a copy and if they don't have one try the medical social workers. This book is well-organized, and is a great benifit to those who use it.

Very good book. Covers how to document really well. And it actually goes into legal proceedings in the unfortunate event that you ever have to deal with it.

Gives very clear examples on how to document your charts.

This is an excellent book for those who are just getting started in children's dentistry. It gives clear and concise information and the illustrations are first class. The book is a must for clinical practice but is definitely not for diagnostic purposes.
Treatment planning and the technical aspects of carrying out treatment are described in detail with a step by step approach.
This is an excellent undergraduate textbook and a good teaching resource.

I found this book by chance in the library. I read it for a little while, I could not put it down. I took it home. Then I will buy it. That is a good book.

Has enough detail for most general dentists when you need a reference, and more than enough for the dental student. There is also some discussion of advanced technique in the text that is shown with a colored background, however there does not seem to be much discussion on advanced cases (4 stars). Chapters discuss all aspects of most partial denture cases including some maxillofacial prosthetics. I like to learn a lot by looking at pictures. One huge plus this book has is more than 90% full color (5 stars) pictures (more than 900). However I wish the pictures showed how to do procedures in a step by step format. The pictures for the most part just show what things are supposed to look like in the end of a procedure (3 stars). Avg stars: 4

This book provides a comprehensive overview of health conditions and dental implications. Of particular usefulness to hygiene students studying for the National Board, are the multiple choice questions & case studies. The beginning of each section also lists definitions. Although it is comprehensive, it would be better if it included a bit more detail. Example: mentions Tetralogy of Fallot but does not define/describe. There are other areas that could have been more in depth or more detailed.
Very satisfied with this book overall. Recommended for hygiene students preparing for the Board Exam & also for practicing hygienists to brush up on current recommendations & protocol.

I felt to book to be very helpful in preparing to take the Danby test. The review section covered the topics in enough detail so you could answer the questions. Some of the questions were a bit technical. Over all I thought the book to a very good referance book.

Simple wording and excellent pictures make this book an excellent choice to read to preschoolers. My Dentist by Harlow Rockwell shows exactly what a young child can expect on their first trip to a dentist. It shows all the tools that dentists use and how to care for teeth at home. I would recommend reading this book to children prior to their first dentist visit.

An excellent book that deals with the most common afections of the oral tissues. The illustration of the cases are very ellocuent. I was looking for a book that had the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer and buying this book has been a good choice.
