CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 2 reviews)

good basic info for beginning dentist

This book is high yield and covers a broad range of topics. I took the first ADEX exam and used this book as a primary source to study for the 6.5 hr written test (which I easily passed).
Information presented does not go into great depth, but then again that's what makes this such a good reference guide. If you are a dental student and forgot what the furcation classes signify you can find it in less than a minute. If you are a new doctor and don't know how much lidocaine to administer a 40 lb patient you can find that very quickly too.
In summery a great reference for quick high yield facts. Wish I had it in dental school during clinic time.

better suited for study material.

this is a book for more of prep for an exam. It doesn't give much of clinical help to an active clinician although things are organized in a concise manner.
It'd help as a study guide for a license exam since it covers all major field of dentistry. Periodontal chapter is probably lacking the most of clinical information. ( Again, it's not much of clinical reference but if I have to choose out of all the chapters.. )
