Book Reviews

Comments about first edition

While written to represent the mainstream views of United Kingdom dental schools, the information presented could be used anywhere in the world. Eleven well known oral and maxillofacial surgeons have contributed in their area of expertise……The authors have done an excellent job in condensing a mass of pertinent oral and maxillofacial material into a well structured and very readable book…….While this excellent book may not be for the practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeon, it is highly recommended for use in dental education. In addition, it will surely become a popular textbook for general Dentists
