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.;

4.0 out of 5 stars A clear and concise text for learning clinical prodedures., 18 Mar 2001

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential for any undergraduate dental student, 30 May 2002

By	Dina (dinaofvulcan@aol.com) (London, England) - See all my reviews

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unrealistic, dry and contradictory, 30 Mar 2007

By	I. J. Donaldson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Pickard's Manual of Operative Dentistry (Oxford Medical Publications) (Paperback)

As stated in the other reviews, this textbook is indeed comprehensive when it comes to conservative dentistry and the carious process. However, despite it displaying width of content it lacks in many other areas.

Some of the techniques described in the text are completely impractical. As a 2nd year BDS student I have attempted to put into practice many of the techniques. Usually the method employing my own common sense is far more successful, cost effective and kind to the patient.

The text is also exceptionally dry. Any lecturer asking that you read it before an exam or for a class test is asking a lot.

The text often contradicts what many lecturers say. In some instances it even contradicts itself. Beware also of the many misprints and paragraphs of text that contradict the captions beneath the images and pictures.

Considering this text has been published a number of times, you might expect that most of the contraindications would have been rectified. It sounds like it has been written by clinical academics who haven't practised in many years. I find a much more useful source of correct information is to be found in questioning lecturers and using internet sites. These are much better value for money.
