Customer Reviews

Best book and DVD for my course August 26, 2005
I will be soon training to administer local anesthesia in the dental office where I work as a periodontal co-therapist. This is the book that is required and with the DVD it is perfect for studying. I would recommend this for any dental hygienist in this type of program.
Dental update October 22, 2009
This is a very thorough book for all clinicians. It explains the theory of anesthetic action, covers the various types of anesthetics – and their various formulations.
It describes various anesthetic techniques in excellent detail. The DVD is a great addition, to be able to see the techniques and anatomical landmarks. additionally, I found several new techniques that I have had good success with.
I recommend this book for the student, new clinician, as well as a valuable review for experienced clinicians
Malamed, SF. Local Anesthesia, 5th ed., September 19, 2009
The best handbook of modern dental local anesthesia I have read. A couple years ago – the former edition – became as a basic curriculum for the teachbook written by myself for students and dentists in Czech Republic – (it was sold out during few months). Many congratulations to author Mr. Malamed! V. Scigel,MD,PhD
Dental Anaestesia by Stanley Melamed. DDS, March 11, 2009
I am in dental practice for 50 years, this book brings one up to date with a bang, even up to Articaine. Excellent, covers all from seating patient to dismissing the patient, in case one has forgotten something.
