Synopsis

Featuring over 300 instruments, this innovative resource is designed to help students master dental instrument identification, as well as assist in taking instrument inventory in the dental office. The flip-book, flashcard-style method helps readers memorize and quickly identify instruments at a glance, with a photograph or illustration of the instrument on the top page, and a full description of the instrument on the bottom page - including its name, function, and key characteristics. The picture of each instrument makes an ideal flashcard that readers can use to quiz themselves or others. At the end of some chapters, a photograph provides an example of a tray set-up that incorporates many of the instruments used in that chapter.

About this title

Review:

This is probably one of the best ways of learning the names and functions of dental instruments -other than by handing the wrong one to an especially curmudgeonly dentist in mid-extraction! Although the spellings are American, this does not reduce its value.
