5.0 out of 5 stars Good General Review of Operative Dental Principles, June 5, 2009

By	James Koenig "konedog" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I graduated from dental school in 1985, and being in a specialized practice of dentistry, I needed a good general review of restorative dentistry, so I ordered this book to "bring me up to date".

I found this to be a good book for the most basic concepts of operative dentistry. I was satisfied with the book as it fulfilled my modest objectives. However, for most dentists, the procedures presented here are those that are likely practiced daily in a general dentist office.
Therefore, this is not a book for general dentists. It is a good book for dental students, for those studying to pass their dental boards, or for the specialist who desires knowlege of general operative techniques.

It is not a book to learn advanced operative dental techniques.

This is the 2006 edition, so it is already 3 years old. As fast as the dental field is changing, I recommend the latest edition if you are interested in purchase.

This review is from: Fundamentals of Operative Dentistry: A Contemporary Approach (Paperback)

es un libro muy didáctico, con un contenido secuencial apropiado y con la información requerida por todo profesional para racionalizar sus procedimientos operatorios. lo considero excelente; por esa razón es el libro de texto guia en los seminarios de biomateriales y operatoria en los programas de posgrado de la facultad de odontología de la Universidad de Antioquia
