Editorial Reviews
Review
“Each chapter is well planned, very readable, beautifully and appropriately illustrated with excellent colour photographs and diagrams… I would recommend this as a valuable book for all members of the dental team to have on their bookshelf. It is clearly written and very informative, invaluable for students and a very useful reference book for those dental professionals, like me, whose student days are a distant memory.With continuing professional development high on the agenda these days, this publication is certainly a useful tool for refreshing and updating one’s knowledge.”Team in Practice, July 2010
