It is a comprehensive book and just as useful for more-recently qualified dentists and can be used as a revision text for experienced dentists.” - BDAnews, Vol 20 no 10, October 2007

"This is a well illustrated, invaluable guide for dental students and practitioners who are in the early stages of their career." - Doody Enterprises, DOODY'S BOOK REVIEW SERVICE UPDATE. September 2008
