Best drug reference for dentistry
I've stopped looking for the best drug reference book for dentistry; this is it.In addition to the usual descriptions for each drug, potential drug interactions with (e.g., anesthetics with vasoconstrictors) and effects on oral tissues are provided.Nowadays it seems that most people are taking at least one medication, and many, several medications; all of them are in this book to help you provide safe treatment of these many medically compromised patients.Additionally, nonprescription drug information is provided as well as for "alternative medicines" which are popular today.Suggested treatments for many oral conditions are provided, along with sample prescriptions.You can't beat this book; it's a great time-saver, as well as being complete and up-to-date with its annual revisions. A "must have" for all dental professionals.

My Favorite Dental Office Drug Reference Handbook
This is a great resource for the dental office.It has up to date information about recommended dosage, specific prescriptions for certain conditions and all the information you need for adverse effects of the medications prescribed.
It is a bit expensive and needs updating yearly, but worth the money.I have used other references and find this to be the best one available.I also recommend the Little Drug Booklet, by Dr. Jacobsen for a quick reference that is more portable.

Invaluable
In invaluable resource in your office.Written by pharmacists, a dentist, and a crazy guy with both a pharmacy and dental degree.ROCK ON CROSLEY.

Must Have
Much better than the PDR since it is specific to dental care.We have the Palm version as well.Both are great.

Handbook of Pediatric Dentistry
On page xiii Preface, it is quite meaningful to all of us.I write it here for your reference "a lot of players say you can't play that course.That's a bunch of junk.A good player can play any course.You adapt your game to the golf course.You don't adapt the course to your game." It is the spirit of dentistry.Can anyone of us take a few minutes of thinking what's the feelig of visiting a dentist at her or his childhood especially at their first visit?I said that because I met before.The one changed my life and made me having a chance of reading this book.So, it is a good book.Keep it!
The book provides many clearly illustrations that are easily understand and very useful at practice.
There is a special chapter talking about pedo endodontics and writing so details. Moreover, a huge chapter of dental trauma of children give us references to handle the case if we meet.

Older edition than I thought I was getting.
Timing was good.Just didn't list what edition it was and I was disappointed.

contemporary implant dentistry

This book is akin to the Bible of implant dentistry. It is very comprehensive and enlightening yet easy to read as a text book or a reference source. Suitable for novice or experienced implantologist who consistently look for optimum and predictable results in their treatment to patients.I regard the book as one of the most valued book in my personal collections.

Don't do Dental Implants Without This Book
I have taken over 200 hours of implant continuing education.If someone had recommended this book my learning experience would have far exceeded the otherwise great education I recieved.

This book is very comprehensive, well organized and covers just about every aspect of implant dentistry in great detail.

Product Description
This comprehensive text presents a detailed, heavily illustrated, step-by-step approach to restorative and preventive dentistry. It draws from both theory and practice, and is supported by extensive clinical and laboratory research.

Delivered ON TIME and in GOOD CONDITION
I ordered two copies for International delivery to Hungary from the United States and the books arrived at my doorstep on the same day as slated for delivery.

The books were in good condition and I was overall pleased.

This is a good book for your overall Dental Studies, dealing with any procedure of Restorative Dentistry.This will be a book for life.

Great buy
If you have no experience in the field of dentistry, but you want a biological or chemical background to the subject, this is the book to get.Other books were too advanced for my level of knowledge (undergrad interested in dentistry); however, this book is structured like a general biology textbook (very comprehensive and understandable).I strongly recommend this book if you are interested in dentistry, the science behind dentistry, prepping for dentistry school, or if you merely want to know your dentist's lingo.

Sturdevant'stext book
Overall a good text book. The text is clear on most topics and easy to read with good diagrams and many pictures.
Each chapter starts with chapter outline that guides the reader through the book and makes it more organized. It covers topics such as structure of the teeth (e.g. Enamel, pulp-dentin complex, cementum), Cariology (The lesion, etiology, prevention and control), Bio-materials (e.g. glass-ionomers, composites, liners & bases, sealants, dental cements), Fundamentals in tooth preparation (e.g. class I,II,III,IV,V,VI restorations), Instruments and equipments for tooth preparation, Composite restorations (e.g. tooth preparations, clinical techniques), Amalgam and Metal restorations and a lot more. However not much details on materials of inlay/onlay restorations. The quality of the book is good and the price tag is reasonable.

Good General Review of Operative Dental Principles
I graduated from dental school in 1985, and being in a specialized practice of dentistry, I needed a good general review of restorative dentistry, so I ordered this book to "bring me up to date".

I found this to be a good book for the most basic concepts of operative dentistry.I was satisfied with the book as it fulfilled my modest objectives.However, for most dentists, the procedures presented here are those that are likely practiced daily in a general dentist office.
Therefore, this is not a book for general dentists.It is a good book for dental students, for those studying to pass their dental boards, or for the specialist who desires knowlege of general operative techniques.

It is not a book to learn advanced operative dental techniques.

This is the 2006 edition, so it is already 3 years old.As fast as the dental field is changing, I recommend the latest edition if you are interested in purchase.

Product Description
Using a unique age-specific organization, this book discusses all aspects of pediatric dentistry from infancy through adolescence. Each age-specific section covers the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes that children experience, as well as the epidemiology of dental disease at that age. Other chapters explore the examination, treatment planning, radiographic concerns, prevention, trauma, restorative dentistry, pulp therapy, orthodontics, and behavior management of each age range. * Nine chapters are now in full color, providing more detail — especially in the oral pathology and esthetics chapters. * Revised sedation guidelines for pediatric patients (presented during the May 2004 AAPD meeting) are reflected, so that practitioners stay current on pain and anxiety control issues. * The latest caries risk assessment information (revised by the AAPD in 2002) is included. * Text boxes spotlight topics of interest, such as tobacco use, the Alternative !Restorative Treatment, and brushing techniques for special-needs children. * Coverage includes anticipatory guidance, an innovative approach to preventive dentistry — this proactive developmentally based counseling system focuses on the needs of a child at a particular stage of life. * Coverage of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment situations is expanded, with more illustrations to provide readers with examples of clinical scenarios. ...

As a general practitioner who uses this book to answer fairly routine questions about care and treatment of children, I recommend it highly. It is easy to read and well organized.

BEFORE YOU HAVE DENTAL WORK, READ THIS BOOK
Metal in your mouth, fillings, crowns, implants, should be considered carefully. This book will help you to be an informed dental patient. Dentistry is changing radically for the better. Educate yourself.

If you have teeth, you should read this book.
Written in language a common person can understand. Very informative concerning how the teeth are connected to all parts of the body and not just separate pieces of the body. As a novice in learning about whole body health, this book helped me tremendously to understand meridians and the improtance of a healthy mouth.

One Big Conspiracy
This is the sort of book for paranoid people addicted to conspiracy theories. Couple that with a few bad experiences with conventional dentistry and you have a sizable audience that would rather believe a fanciful lie than the mundane truth.

Though I don't agree with most of what's written in this book, I don't regret buying it. It teaches me how to con ignorant people with high tech jargon, pseudo scientific theories and conspiracy theories. If people BELIEVE that amalgams or metal restorations are the cause of their headaches, fatigue or whatever symptoms, then removing them will definitely cure them. That's how faith healing works.

The only reason why I don't use amalgam in my practice is because I do cosmetic dentistry. If the patient does not mind the colour, amalgam is definitely a superior direct filling material for Class 2 and subgingival preps. I have absolutely no qualms about having that done for myself or any member of my family.

Toxicity? Sure, some people are affected by amalgams and anything can be toxic to somebody, but let's not forget that these cases are extremely rare (perhaps less than 10 on this planet and most of them would be Chinese). There are literally thousands of tests and studies establishing amalgams as safe filling materials over the last 100 years. There are numerous reputable studies that show how safe amalgams are. If Dr Breiner has been to Asia where we have much healthier diets and lifestyles, he may notice that we also have many healthy 70 to 90-year-old Asian men and women who have gold and amalgam-filled teeth in their mouths.

Bad Medicine: Misconceptions and Misuses Revealed, from Distance Healing to Vitamin O (Wiley bad science series)

Being knowledgeable in TCM, I can tell the gullible supporters of this book that his sloppy diagram on acupuncture meridians is completely inaccurate and drawn by someone who has no knowledge of acupuncture whatsoever! How easy it is to con people with misinformation from the exotic East.

Are composites totally safe? The incidence of allergic reactions to composites (very low) is higher than that of amalgam toxicity. This is something the author failed to inform us. All his anecdotal evidence are almost laughable as they are not supported by independent studies and sceptical parties. One patient is even under psychiatric care. Not one case he mentioned can be conclusively attributed to amalgam. Mercury can be very toxic, but after tituration and amalgamation, the metal remains in the solid state and is not absorbed by the body. It's different from inhaling mercury vapour daily, injecting or ingesting mercury or mercuric compounds.

The issue of cavitation is also invalid. Dr Breiner shows us a few blurry xrays with apparent radiolucencies and tells us they are cavitations. What histological analysis did he do to confirm that it's of periodontal origin? Does Dr Briener even understand the basic science of what happens to periodontal ligaments after an extraction? Most patients wouldn't know - which is why it is so easy to cheat them with non-factual, unsupported theories. I can almost guarantee that if he does a CT scan on the jaws, the "cavitations" on his blurred OPGs would all "disappear".

What about his "whole body" approach to orthodontics? He shows us 2 sets of pictures of identical twins, one having undergone conventional ortho and one having undergone MPA/HT treatment. Well, where are the stone models? Let's have a closer look at the teeth in occlusion. How different are they? How did he manage to correct crowding without extractions? There are only competent orthodontists and incompetent ones. It's doesn't matter if they use conventional orthodontics. Properly done, the approach and outcome can be equally holistic and the patient will not have TMJ problems.

Especially shocking to the profession, must be Dr Briener's report on the canine tooth that "righted itself" after the chiropractor put her body in perfect alignment. This is something that made every one of my chiropractor friends laugh out loud. Why didn't Dr Briener publish this miraculous finding in a journal? Could it be that the case somehow cannot be replicated in an objectively scrutinised environment?

Propagating such beliefs will only spark panic, paranoia and various psychosomatic "illnesses". Worse, many patients may seek unnecessary and possibly invasive treatment for things like "cavitation". Following Breiner's protocols for "detox", patients will only be paying a fortune for otherwise very simple dental work. Make no mistake about it, this book actually recommends more unnecessary procedures than your average money-driven dentist.

There is one basic flaw in this voting system. People who gravitate towards these pages are those who support the book. The reviewer who writes anything negative not only needs to review the book, he actually needs to convince the brainwashed fans here that their idol is wrong. Democracy rules here and the majority is right even when it's wrong.

What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You

This book was great, it really enlightened me to the mouth being the entry to the whole body.I will be going to an integrative, whole body dentist next!Definitely worth reading!

Compelling Information about Whole Body Dentistry
This was a very informative and well written book about "alternative dentistry". Dr. Breiner explains the differences between traditional and whole body dentistry in easy to understand terms. He gave many examples of the types of health problems which can be related to amalgams, root canals, periodontal work, orthodontics and bridges and partials. He also described the kind of exam and treatment a whole body dentist would use. A great read. ... Read more

Very good book!
This book has been great for me to have in the office as a quick reference.

Excellent for dental students
This book places everything you want to know in one place. Prior to getting this book it was extremely hard to study head and neck anatomy because you have to go back and forth from book to book to get all the info that is right in one place in this book.

I wish I could give it ten stars!!!
Unbelievable book! I have never been engrossed so deeply into learning something so fascinating.The way he puts it all together just makes it extremely easy to become proficient with head and neck anatomy. This should be in every dentist's personal library and great for studying for boards.

Great book
This book has a great review of all head and neck structures. Wonderful pictures as always with Netter, and great succinct tables with review information.

This book is a must have for dental students!!Along with diagrams, it contains tables, and charts that explain origin and insertion of muscles and their innervation.The big edition of Netter does not supply the detail of information that is in this book.I Could not have survived 1st year dental school anatomy course without it!!Also gives instructions on nerve block anesthesia. ...

Classic in the field
I disagree with the other reviewers. I have taught and done research in the field of Peridontology for the past 30 years. This is the best of the periodontal textbooks. Beautifully written and wonderfully documented. It is a classic.

Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry
the book is very thorough explaining all about periodontology. But in some chapters, sometimes the words are so complex and need to be read repeatedly in order to get the meaning of the authors.In my opinion, using the simplest word is possible the best option for every reader, especially when you are in hurry time before exam, the simplest word is making the life easier. This book is recommended by my tutors.

Mixed feelings
There is a lot of information in this book, and I mean a lot.That's a good thing right?Yes and no.For being such a large, reference oriented book, this has one of the worst indexes I have ever seen.Its terrible.They obviously spent a great deal of time on the book, and its mind-boggling that they wouldn't put a good index in.As such, this is pretty much worthless for quick references.So we are left with a HUGE book, probably suitable only for perio residents, since they are probably the only ones with the motivation, obssesiveness, and lack of sanity to plow through this.Add a good index, and I'd give it five stars. ...

Product Description
For those on both sides of the dreaded dentist's chair, James Wynbrandt has written a witty, colorful, and richly informative history of the art and science of dentistry.To all of those dental patients whose whine rises in tandem with that of the drill, take note: You would do well to stifle your terror and instead offer thanks to Apollonia, the patron saint of toothache sufferers, that you face only fleeting discomfort rather than the disfiguring distress, or slow agonizing death oft meted out by dental-care providers of the past.The transition from yesterday's ignorance, misapprehension, and superstition to the enlightened and nerve-deadened protocols of today has been a long, slow, and very painful process.For example, did you know that: *Among the toothache remedies favored by Pierre Fauchard, the father of dentistry, was rinsing the mouth liberally with one's own urine.*George Washington never had wooden teeth.However, his chronic dental problems may have impacted the outcome of the American Revolution. *Soldiers in the Civil War needed at least two opposing front teeth to rip open powder envelopes.Some men called up for induction had their front teeth extracted to avoid service. *Teeth were harvested from as many as fifty thousand corpses after the Battle of Waterloo, a huge crop later used for dentures and transplants that became known as "Waterloo Teeth." ...

Product Description
This introduction to Evidence-Based Dentistry provides a much-needed orientation in the subject for students and professionals alike. It is a ground-level book for those seeking to understand evidence-based dentistry and its significance for clinical practice. The book is anchored in the dental literature: the majority of the chapters offer guidance on interpreting a full published paper; where both the subject of the paper and the study design is of relevance to the field of dentistry.

Each chapter is organised in a similar way, providing a structured approach to reading and understanding research articles or commercial product information. In this respect, Evidence-Based Dentistry is designed as an introduction to understanding published research and its implications for the dental surgery; rather than as a guide on undertaking research.

* Incorporates topical published papers in order to rpovide worked examples

* Explains the most6 common forms of research used in dentistry

* Unlocks basic statistical and epidemiological concepts, along with key terms

* Enables the reader to identify the research question, assess aspects of study design, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of papers and understand their clinical relevance

* Tables, boxes and figures are used extensively to present core information. Useful templates are also provided, which readers may use/adapt for analysis, including study clubs. ... Read more
