Creased cover - unfortunate since it was for a gift
While overall the process of working with this vendor was fine - the book arrived with a seriously creased front cover.I had bought this as a graduation gift for a future dental student and had no time to return it before graduation.I was very disappointed.

A must for either medical or dental students...
If you are looking to better familiarize yourself dental and cranial anatomy, before or during medical/dental school, then purchase this book. The information is highly detailed and well organized and will definitely assist you throughout your anatomy classes, as well as, better prepare you for the board examinations.

Great Book
I bought this book as a review material for NBDE , It has better text and much more useful photoes, pics and morphlogical outlines than Wheelers, Just skip the head and neck anatomy part and start with dental anatomy section, there is only one regret about this book , occlusion part is not enough for new NBDE , Overall Its well worth the money.

Open Wide
The book opens by summarising head and neck and then oral anatomy before moving onto the main subject of tooth morphology. It then has chapters on eruption, occlusion, dental abnormalities, operative and forensic dentistry. It seems mainly tailored to the pre-clinical student but also provides lots of information about the clinical relevance of anatomy. It also contains many practical exercises that would be of use to a clinical student, like a guide to extra-oral palpation.The bulk of the book (5 chapters on tooth morphology) contains if anything too much information, leaving the reader rather overloaded with facts. It handles the examination of extracted teeth in a logical fashion and would be useful in practical lab sessions. It also contains quizzes and tear-out sheets about tooth morphology. The other chapters in the book make for good introductions to the various subjects, with some excellent diagrams, but do not really cover the depth of knowledge required (e.g. about head and neck anatomy). However, a textbook that summarises many different subjects is certainly a more cost-effective buy than getting 7 or 8 more complete texts. Parts of the book are genuinely interesting. The chapter on dental abnormalities contains the case of a dental exchange student with 23 upper teeth, including 13 molars. Also the chapter on forensics gives an insight into something not normally discussed on the BDS course. In general, quite a good pre-clinical textbook ideal for a student interested in tooth morphology.

the method being strenthened to dental anatomy
I was able to meet this book two years ago,when I was a 1st year of dental school. In that time, I don't know the merits of this book. but when I became 2nd, 3rd years, I was able to find that this book made me strengthento anatomy. this book contain so many informations about an anatomic viewsincluding periodontics,endodontics, minor surgery... Especially rootmorphorlogy is very useful in endodontics. If you read and take this bookas a reference, you will be good at many clinical subjects includingEndodontics, periodontics, some prosthodontics, and minor surgery.

Product Description
This landmark book explores the biology of hypnosis and its applications in medicine, dentistry, and pain prevention and management. Drawing from presentations at the 6th Annual Frontiers of Hypnosis Assembly held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Dr. Brown has created a Table of Contents that will be of interest to the broad swath of clinicians. These chapters will inform the thinking and practice both of clinicians who already use hypnosis and those who are interested in knowing more about its efficacy and potential. The original material has been copiously updated and expanded for this volume. Divided into three sections, contributions range from Mind/Body Communication; and The Biology of Hypnosis; to Pain, Anxiety and Dental Gagging in Adults and Children; and Treating Pain, Anxiety, and Sleep Disorders in Children and Adolescents. The closing chapter on Evidence Based Hypnosis for Obstetrics, Labor and Delivery and Preterm Labor clarifies the importance of hypnosis in pain prevention and in supporting the well being of both mother and child. With contributions from: David Spiegel, MD; Jose Maldonado, MD; Bruce Lipton, PhD; George Fraser, MD; Marlene Hunter, MD; John G. Lovas, DDS; David A. Lovas, MD; Gabor Filo, DDS; Ashley A. Goodman, DDS; Donald Corey Brown, MD; A. Max Chaumette Jr., MD; James Straub, EdD; Vicki Straub, PhD; andLeora Kuttner, PhD Hypnosis is a multifaceted approach road-tested and still evolving. The experts who come together in this volume tell us much about what is known and what is yet to be discovered. They demonstrate specific ways in which hypnosis can be used alone or in concert with other approaches to facilitate the various phases of prevention, intervention, and follow-up in medicine and dentistry. Their combined perspective points to the importance of incorporating advances in hypnosis into a more general approach to wellness and healing in order to empower the many advances being made in technology and technique. ...

STEDMAN'S PLASTIC SURGERY, ENT, & DENTISTRY WORDS
I was so pleased with my reference book when I received it.This is the first in the series that I have bought.This book is jammed packed with information.There is so much more than just words.Sample reports, anatomy pictures, Appendixes of multiple topics, Surgery with the common words used in that surgery procedure.I was absolutely excited about a book.Every MT that types these types of reports must have this.Easy to use.I cannot say enough good.

Stedman's is the best!
Absolutely agree with the earlier review posted below.This volume was published in 1999, and an updated volume should be coming along soon, but meanwhile, this exhaustive collection of words relating especially to ears, nose, throat, and teeth is without peer.If you're an MT looking into expanding your library because you've found yours wanting, Stedman's is the place to look, and this book is a crucial part of such a library.

Best reference for plastic surgery/ENT/dentistry words
"Plastic Surgery/ENT/Dentistry Words" is a gem of a reference for the transcriptionist doing work in any of these specialty areas.It is chock full with 69,000 entries derived from >40,000 medical words,phrases, abbreviations, and acronyms.These are convenientlycross-referenced.Who of us has not heard, for example, some kind of"flap" mumbled by the dictator while transcribing a surgicalreport; here, a list of >4½ pages of various types of flaps areblessedly enumerated.Additionally, surgical instruments and medicationsare handily listed as well.

Four appendixes complete this volume: 1)anatomical illustrations [54 pages of them!], 2) sample reports [op notes]ranging in variety from typical liposuction surgery to an orbiculopexy, 3)common terms of procedure [such as septoplasty terms, etc.], and 4) commonherbs in both Latin and common terminology.This latter is interesting,but I am confounded as to what is its use in this volume.

Nevertheless,this handy volume is really the Bible when it comes to a reference foranyone transcribing medical reports in the above-mentioned specialty areas. I recommend it highly! ... Read more

Learn to build successful working relationships with your patients

Psychology and Dentistry: Mental Health Aspects of Patient Care is a practical guide to an often-neglected aspect of dentistry-the contributions of the behavioral sciences to dental research and practice. Dr. William A. Ayer, Professor of Behavioral Sciences at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, presents a comprehensive textbook that’s an essential study aid for students preparing for their National Dental Board Examinations and a valuable classroom resource for dental school faculty. This unique book identifies the everyday concerns of dentists, dental students, and dental hygienists, offering proven strategies for patient management and for building—and maintaining—a successful dentist-patient relationship.

Psychology and Dentistry examines the contributions of the behavioral sciences to the practice of dentistry, drawing subject matter from a wide range of disciplines that include psychology, sociology, education, anthropology, economics, epidemiology, health services, and public health. The book is a practical guide to developing the necessary skills to conduct effective patient interviews, for teaching patients to manage their dental fears and anxieties, and for dealing with patients who need counseling from mental health professionals. It also addresses special issues that have become relevant to dentists and their staffs in recent years, including child abuse and neglect, spousal violence, elder abuse, aging and changes associated with age, death and dying, and bereavement.

Not a good vendor to use.
The two-volume set was NOT as described.I received only Volume Two of the two-volume set. When I complained to the vendor, it took them a week to get back to me after four e-mails. The vendor told me that they sent only Volume Two because Volume One is now "out of print".Going on line, there are many vendors that sell the Two Volume Set for the same price that I paid for only Volume Two.

I am very unhappy and dissatisfied with the vendor, their unhelpful attitude, and thepoor customer service.

Sincerely,
