Good Text, September 17, 2009

This book was required for my dental hygiene class and everyone else bought the newer 7th edition, but I got by just fine with this one and they really are not that different.

Not for everyone, not anymore!, January 31, 2008
A little bit out-of-date in the way body systems are reviewed in the Center (body) part of the book. Principally, the single section that I found valuable throughout my Dental school was the summary review of systems that is offered at the front of the book, which worked as a fast reference (basically, I tore that section off from the rest of the book!). Nevertheless, it might still work in a better way when it comes to being used by some residents in certain fields like that of surgery, GPR, AEGD, and so forth where they need to go over the boring center (body) of the book.
