Product Description
Product Description
Pickard's Manual of Operative Dentistry describes clearly and concisely the indications and methods for all common operative and conservative prodedures in dental practice. Procedures and techniques are fully illustrated, often in full colour and, where appropriate, step-by-step sequences are given. In the seventh edition of this well established and respected book there is further consideration of caries risk, the mechanisms of pulpal pathology, and the diagnosis of erosive toothwear. There is more on the clinically relevant materials science of amalgam, composite, glass ionomer cements, and dentine-bonding agents. The 'amalgam controversy' is discussed. As in previous editions every effort has been made to point out areas of ignorance in the hope that the text will serve as a basis of discussion. The book is intensively illustrated with clinical cases, most of which are reproduced in colour. Structured in three parts, Part I covers the principles of diseases and diagnosis, Part II looks at the practical side: instruments, working environment and techniques, and Part III covers the long term considerations of monitoring, maintenance and management. The book is an essential purchase for all preclinical and clinical undergraduate dental students. This book is intended for preclinical and clinical undergraduate dental students. In collaboration with: Pickard, H. M.;

A clear and concise text for learning clinical prodedures.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pickard's Manual of Operative Dentistry (Oxford Medical Publications) (Paperback)
I am using this book for year 1 BDS - the pictures are excellent and the text is really easy to understand. There is a good introduction to the process of caries at the start of the book (although is this covered in more detail in other texts in the series - e.g. "essentials of dental caries"). It also gives useful information on the uses of the materials used (e.g. why amalgam is still one of the major filling materials) which I find very useful because to saves you having to consult a different text! The names, pictures, uses and handling techniques of the dental instruments and materials is also very useful for students using them for the first time. Overall an excellent book, recommended by many lecturers.

Essential for any undergraduate dental student,
By Dina (dinaofvulcan@aol.com) (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pickard's Manual of Operative Dentistry (Oxford Medical Publications) (Paperback)
This textbook was recommended to me both by my lecturers and the students in the year above me - and I have found it very useful. The picture step-by-step format makes it invaluable for those starting conservative dentistry for the first time, helping to bridge the gap between learning the theory and completing treatment. It also discusses patient management, including extra-oral examination.This textbook is a good buy because of it's content, it's presentation and not least of all, it's applicability to a large part of the course, unlike many other textbooks recommended which are useful for a relatively short period of time.

Very good,
By Michelle "Gingernutty" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pickard's Manual of Operative Dentistry (Oxford Medical Publications) (Paperback)
I am in my first year of study of dental hygiene and therapy and I have found this book very useful. There are some great photographs to illustrate the conditions described in the text and the content is not too complex. I would recommend it!
