I ordered this book because I am in dental hygiene school. It has been very helpful; it's had everything I've needed to look up so far. It has color illustrations and came with a CDROM, but I haven't opened the CD yet. I would recommend this book if you are a dental student!

I liked the dictionary as I could find most of the terms I looked for. Several of them had colorful illustrations.

I just wanted to respond to the only review on this book. It is a dictionary not a picture book. If you want pictures you'll want to look at Delmars Dental Assisting or another book teaching dental. This book has most of the words I needed to find while attending college. It is for definition of dental terminology, great for students.

adequate, but not spectacular

As the title implies, this book is a dictionary, nothing more. I was sorely disappointed to find out that there were no pictures, diagrams, or illustrations in this book whatsoever. It does include almost every word you could think of for a dental reference, but I hoped it would have more on the morphology and anatomy of teeth. For instance, if someone wondered what a marginal ridge was, it would tell them, but without a picture to show where they are, it is very hard to grasp the concept. I would not reccommend this book for someone looking for clarification of oral structures, only for people who only want to know what something is, not where.
