Product Description
A concise pictorial overview of medicine and surgery for dentistry, in the handy pocket-size Colour Guide format. Topics are presented in double-page spreads, with text on the left and illustrations on the right. High quality colour images, largely clinical photographs, demonstrate examples of the topic under discussion and the text provides a synoptic account to enhance the illustrations. The text is concise but relevant and whereverpossible uses a standard set of headings (for example epidemiology, pathology, clinical features, investigations, management, prognosis). The impressive collection of colour images allows readers access to a range of clinical examples they might not otherwise see in everyday practice.
