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.

This review is from: Handbook of Local Anesthesia: Text with Malamed's Local Anesthesia Administration DVD Package (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Handbook of Local Anesthesia: Text with Malamed's Local Anesthesia Administration DVD Package (Paperback)

This is a very thorough book for all clinicians. It explains the theory of anesthetic action, covers the various types of anesthetics - and their various formulations.

It describes various anesthetic techniques in excellent detail. The DVD is a great addition, to be able to see the techniques and anatomical landmarks. additionally, I found several new techniques that I have had good success with.

I recommend this book for the student, new clinician, as well as a valuable review for experienced clinicians
