Reviews for Pre-Clinical Dental Skills at a Glance

“Great diagrams for visual learners.” “It’s a very good way to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve before you pick up the handpiece.” “Being able to read about the operative techniques in advance of the practicals was excellent...I knew what to expect and it reinforced the technique when repeating it myself.” “The book chapters are the perfect length for a quick overview...The sections [on] common pitfalls and criteria are particularly helpful.” “It all reads very clearly for someone in our position, who is familiar with the basic scientific knowledge but unsure about further detail. The chapters explain and illustrate concepts very easily.”
