4.0 out of 5 stars A must read for dental professionals to update vital info!, March 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dental Management of the Medically Compromised Patient, 5e (Paperback)

Every working and instructing dental professional should readthis text concerning medically compromised patients. It updates, aswell as reviews, the important topics that are seen every day in private practice. Especially important is the areas of TB, HIV, and diabetes, although recent information may need to be added by the practioner (check out internet sites for these). Introductory tables are a must for reference in a clinical situation. I have used it a reference text in my clinical practice and in my continuing education courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most used textbook during my residencies!, February 5, 2004

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Dental Management of the Medically Compromised Patient (Paperback)

This was an invaluable book that I only glanced at a few times during dental school, but during both my hospital based-general practice residency and pediatric residency was my constant guide. It provides both medical and dental management for most encountered problems that patients present with and has lots of great quick reference tables!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for dental practitioners, July 14, 2003

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Dental Management of the Medically Compromised Patient (Paperback)

This text has become the standard reference and source of definitive information for dental management of medically compromised patients. It serves as the textbook for Oral Medicine in many dental schools and offers practitioners valuable insight into care for acutely and chronically ill patients.

This book was required for my dental hygiene class and everyone else bought the newer 7th edition, but I got by just fine with this one and they really are not that different.
