Mediocre at best
Attractive layout, nice diagrams, broad coverage of areas.Very poor information.Lack of basic info.For example, according to the book, the ideal prep for a pfm is 360 shoulder with bevel.I don't think anyone would seriously use this.Discussion of luting and cements for all ceramics is cursory.In conclusion: there are much better sources out there for the money.Steer clear.

Product Description
The use of polymers for dental purposes started with the invention of vulcanised rubber. The development of the dough technique made it possible to use polyacrylates in dentistry. The physical and mechanical properties of the cured base denture can be optimised by the proper selection of an initiator, plasticiser, pigment and cross-linking agents (di- or trifunctional methacrylates) The developing of the redox initiators for the polymerisation of methacrylates at room temperature made possible the direct application of these materials as filling resins. This book has been written in an effort to emphasise the use of polymeric materials in dentistry nowadays. ... Read more

Excellent reading. Very practical
The book is packed with practical information and hints on efficient running of a dental practice. I read the book in two days, not because it lacks substance but because it is riveting for any dental practitioner or staff wishing to improve patient service or striving for efficiency. I would have liked to see more on case presentation, and specific technics which aid in case acceptance but perhaps that was not the scope of this book. ... Read more
