5.0 out of 5 stars Student`s review, January 27, 2000

By 

DAVOR ILLES (Zagreb, Croatia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics (Hardcover)

Excellent book featuring:

* "picturesque" explaining (almost like a comic book), no clinical photography present though

* step by step instructions how to do it, with every material, bur or other used instrument explained in detail. Detail is what is great about this book - you can reconstruct every phase of the procedure to the last detail.

* fluidly written and easily understandable emphasizing the practice with all theoretical knowledge needed provided

Overall it is a great book for students which want to get a general knowledge about practice and theory of fixed prosthodontics in dentistry. Great beginners and advanced user book. (My mother who is a specialist of prosthodontic find it useful after years and years of practice). Only complaint - there were not any real clinical cases and clinical photography.

I have the second edition and I love it so much although there is no attractive photos inside but it is very practical for me in clinical study. This time I buy the third edition. It is also kept me irresistible of reading it.

This is not only a recommended text, but also virtually a "must have" for every GP! It works perfectly for both, theory and practice. It works greatly for a student as well.
