5.0 out of 5 stars Still the one for clinical use of local anesthesia!, March 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Handbook of Local Anesthesia (Paperback)

The fourth edition now has second color for ease of reading.The technique portion has been expanded to include supplemental ones.Also expanded are the local and systemic complications. Questions concerning LA are also useful for both students and dental professionals. Very useful refernce text for my CE courses, as well when needing a refernce chairside when I have difficulities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book and DVD for my course, August 26, 2005

By	Boss of the Floss "J. D. Schatz, RDH" (Wrentham, MA) - See all my reviews

I will be soon training to administer local anesthesia in the dental office where I work as a periodontal co-therapist. This is the book that is required and with the DVD it is perfect for studying. I would recommend this for any dental hygienist in this type of program.
