VIVID FULL COLOR PLATES OF EVERY INJECTION 
I purchased this book in 1982 as a student of the art of Dental Anaesthesia and although it was not on the list of Dental Anaesthesia books required, I found it the best in providing a means to visualize where the target areas are for dental anaesthesia. A monumental task, considering all injections are done "blind."The book includes background information about the concept of pain, pharmacology, psychology of pain and head and neck anatomy. Of all the books I have on Dental Anaesthesia, this one remains my favorite and most used reference source. The full color illistrations, often several on all but a few of the 200 pages, by Poul Buckhoj disect the target area showing the muscles, bone, nerves, and blood vessles of all the dental injections except the Akinosi-Vazirani mandibular block. The accompanying text is clear, concise, and looses nothing in the translation. If you want the best illistrated text for use in learing dental anaesthesia, this work by Evers and Haegerstam, et. al., is what you shoud have on the top of your shopping list. It is very sad this book is no longer in print.
