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.

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!

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.

A little bit out-of-date in the way body systems are reviewed in the Center (body) part of the book. Principally, the single section that I found valuable throughout my Dental school was the summary review of systems that is offered at the front of the book, which worked as a fast reference (basically, I tore that section off from the rest of the book!). Nevertheless, it might still work in a better way when it comes to being used by some residents in certain fields like that of surgery, GPR, AEGD, and so forth where they need to go over the boring center (body) of the book.

If I could only have one text in my office, this would be it. It's the one I pull out most often- diseases can be uncommon and you can't trust your memory. There are tables for quick reference and wonderful prescription go-by's, and when you really need to understand a topic (like before you talk to the patient's physician) there is the meat of the text for review.

The item arrived in good time and condition as per Amazon's promise. Good job all!

This text is well written and very informative. Highly recommended for dental professionals in the treatment of patients with systemic health issues.

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.

This is a great text; however, amazon needs to be a bit more selective who they let sell things on this site. Caymen is aweful - sent me an empty box. I had to jump thru the hoops to get a refund and purchase the book elsewhere.

the book helped me in my training practice since i am a dental student. it listed in a very clear and simple way the special measures i must take when treating a patient with a medical condition. and the summery table in the begining of the book, is a quick and easyly understood resourse.
