Dentistry Books

I think It is a good support for clinicians who are intented to know statistical bases before submission of a scientific paper.

This book is easy to follow and use. the review questions are formatted to aquaint the reader to how test questions will be given. Answers and rational are clear and direct.

In this book, the authors provide us with a nice update and future prospects of the tissue engineering techniques in the field of maxillofacial surgery. The basic science principles in which these therapies are based on have been cared and thoroughly described. In addition, the application to oral surgery techniques and the future prospects for other applications are focused along the different chapters of this book. I think this book is a very adequate approach to tissue engineering for those surgeons who want to introduce themselves in these new techniques.

very nice , easy to read and informative book
step by step way to place and understand the copmosite restoration tips

a comprehensive book covering all aspects of dental caries . the best in articles on diet counselling for pediatrics.

This is a good book. everything is easy to understand. cuts out loads of theory and comes straight to what a dentist needs to do in a particular situation. plus good info on dental emergencies. liked this one a lot

Wet-Fingered Dentistry offers sound, practical advice on private practice. Almost every "specialty" is covered, including orthodontics, implantology continuing education, practice management, relationships with colleagues and establishments.

However, do note that you won't find too much technical details in this book; just brief and general advice without a lot of elaboration. It could have been a little more "meaty". Nevertheless, I wish I had this book 15 years ago when I was just starting out. I could have learned so much from this book instead of learning from mistakes.

As a dental hygiene student, the Dental Hygiene Handbook is a great reference book. It is set up with charts and outline form for easy reading. I would recommend this book to all hygienge students. It is easier to look something up in the handbook then to search 10 text books you've bought for school.

I admit this upfront: I am a huge fan of Lorrie Moore and I tend to love anything she writes. I read this book years ago and, despite moves back and forth across several bodies of water, this is one of the ones that always make the cut. It is the story of adolescence -- Berie and Sils, two 15-year old girls from a nowhere town, with issues and complications and stories, none of them horrendous and both, or all, remarkably sad and touching for their lack of extraordinary-ness -- and also the story of memory. Berie, trapped in a marriage that no longer seems to work, remembers back to a pivotal moment in time. How all that came before us affects at least part of what we later become is a big theme here, as is the temporal nature of all relationships, even those with people we love and care for very deeply.

I love this book. I think the writing is gorgeous. There are very clever, very funny bits, as well, as is typical of Moore's work.

In response to some of the other reviews, no, this is not a lighthearted romp through adolescence. It isn't a beach read. It's a literary jewel that, if appreciated, will stay with you long after you regretfully close its covers.

Who Will Run the Frog Hospital is a well-written and delightful coming of age story. The story is somewhat predictable but nevertheless has enough surprises to keep the reader engaged. I read it in a single sitting on a long flight....a perfect travel or summer afternoon read!

I literally tossed this book across the table when finished. It left me nonplussed and greatly in need of a good read. It has underdeveloped characters, no real plot or message unless you get creative and come up with one, and pointless passages. It comes across like a whining, middle-aged woman talking to her therapist. Although the author has a nice haversack full of impressive words, her writing style and imagery seem better suited to poetry.

Summer reading? Not in my opinion!

Reading the Publisher's Weekly review of this book, I thought it sounded good. But in fact, it was not a good book. There isn't much of a plot. Most of the book is a flashback to Berie's (the narrator) childhood - specifically, the summer she was 15 - and her friendship with Sils. The friendship is pretty unbelievable, though, as are most of the characters in this book. And since the friendship peters out about halfway through the book, I'm not sure what the point of the story was supposed to be. Then there were the present-day stories about Berie and her failing relationship with her husband. These were painful to read because they were so boring and badly written and completely pointless.

Perhaps the worst part of the book is the writing itself. For some reason, Moore is EXCEEDINGLY fond of using nonsensical language to pad her story, and at first I spent a lot of time re-reading whole passages to figure out what the heck Moore was talking about. I gave up on that after awhile and just skipped ahead to the actual parts where some semblance of a story was being told. Some people might find this "prose" beautiful, or even poetic. But since it didn't enhance the book in any way, I disagree. Some examples of this awkward language include:

"My own memory, from a trip ten years ago, is a tired, old coin."

"It was four in the afternoon, and the heat of the day had gathered itself thickly, even as the sun - a hot blister of bone - had begun its descent."

"I arranged my face and hair in a fever of private notions: a theater of one."

"For a fleeing moment, as anyone can, I imagined I felt the poverty of my future, all its unholdable surfaces."

"So far in our marriage we've fought fear with ineptitude, indifference with indifference; the world blows up here and there, and our lives feel staked out in embers, pitched and huddled in tents."

The only reason I bothered to finish the book was because it was so short and I knew I could get it over with quickly. I'm only sorry that I wasted any time on this book at all, when I could have been reading something better.

I first read this book almost 10 years ago, when it first came out, and it is one of the books I keep returning to. Certain passages keep echoing back to me, they are so well written, poetic and apropos of certain hard-to-describe situations and states of mind. When I read some sentences they seemed to vibrate like musical chords.

Want a "lite" summer beach read? Go elsewhere. This is a beautiful examination of the depth and complexity of teenage female friendships and feelings, how people change over time, and how life is both uplifting and disappointing. It's a wonderful book.

This book is very comprehensive in covering both the scientific and clinical aspects of endodontics. While the detail may be overwhelming for many general dentists, it is an invaluable resource for those interested in gaining a more in depth understanding of the underlying principles and practical ins and outs of performing endodontic therapy. Great for training and practicing endodontists.

Well written, easy to read, nausiating detail but that is a good thing for a text book.

I've never fall asleep reading a book. I fell asleep ready this book twise. BORING!!
It sure is wordy and waistful. I am an average "A-" student and usually don't critize any book but this one I felt that I waisted my money. Content is disorganized. WORDY. This book makes me hate dentistry because of so much garbage is in it, not enough content...
Don't buy this one, you'll regred.

This is an excellent book with both practical steps and the theoritical background.I'm amazed that some of reviewers are complaining about the book being too theoritical, too wordy or too scientific. I assume that the reviewers are dentists,I'm certainly a dentist, and was also an A student. If a dentist has no interest in the science behind the procedure and finds it "wordy and too detailed", the question would be why did they become a dentist in the first place? After all, we are supposed to be scientists too. This book is written by fine practicing clinicians who also happen to be very knowlegable scientists.
Any dentist with passion for dentistry will find this book worth every penny.

once again, a fantastic text. A great test for endodontic board certification and any endodontist, but the information is too detailed I believe for the general dentist, although it should be able to answer any question the general dentist should have on endodontics.
