Good but not great
The text in the book is fantastic, but the pictures aren't as good. I really wish that the graphic artist who worked on this book would have spent more time trying to achieve a realistic representation of anatomical form. This book is great when you supplement its pictures with another atlas like McMinn's.

The Anatomical Basis of Dentistry
This book is good, not great, but good.It has lots of great information and very clear shematic diagrams with a focus on the head and neck.It's a good reference for any dental student to have.This book is NOT an anatomy altas and shouldn't be used as one, it is primarily a text, and it's a nice complement to your atlas.
However, the book has a couple of flaws.The book is organized in such a way that makes it very difficult to find the info that you are looking for.There's lots of great info in the book, it's just tough to find sometimes.Also, I don't feel that it gives the reader a good feeling of the 3D arrangement of structures.The book is also lacking some of the details you will need to know in dental school.There were also quite a few factual conflicts between this book and the information presented in my anatomy lectures.I don't know which was actually correct - the book or the professor.
Overall I'm glad I had this book as a reference in dental school.

read it?
Our head and neck class required us to get this book and we never even read it...I figure I will keep it for my own reference as anatomy is my favorite subject.

Gross Anatomy text for dentists by a dentist
This text is useful in the teaching of gross anatomy to dental students, since it was written by a dentist who teaches anatomy to dental students.It is not a "complete" text; i.e., it does not go into much depth in parts of the body not directly related to dentistry.Not to say that it isn't good or accurate, just that if you want an in-depth text covering the entire body, there are better texts out there.But if you want a good text geared toward the dental student, this one works fine

Wait for the next addition...
While this book is a great help to undergraduate dental students, it does fall short in the incredibly specific structural identifications dental gross anatomy classes call for.However, I have seen the next addition which should be coming out soon and it is greatly improved-especially when it comes to bones (and specific structures) of the head.So buy it now if you are taking a gross anatomy course....but if you can afford to wait, then buy it later when the next addition is available. ...

Product Description
Presented for laymen, clerics, and the scientific community, anunprecedented (or actually quite "shocking") approach to Truth isdeveloped whereby a reconciliation is attempted between ancient WisdomKnowledge and modern empirical science. This has become possible becauseof such breakthroughs in today's quantum and astrophysical research thatthe paradigms of science are leaning from exoteric to esoteric. A uniqueadded factor is that new Wisdom revelations have occurred in thepast century and a half, which are added to the overall matrix oftranscendent Knowledge. The method thus becomes one of comparingexoteric and esoteric cosmologies, resulting in what may be startling(or at least provocative) new concepts for the far fringeastrophysicists today who are thrusting beyond string theory to astaggering "multiverse" epiphany. All of which justifies the theme ofPart II, On the Nature and Purpose of the Universe:" In all ofour probing and theorizing and attempts to find the ArchetypeUnification, are we in effect trying to re-invent the wheel when theAnswer has been with us all along?"

For the layman and cleric alike, thecarefully graded extension of conceptuality through the text has thepossibility of expanding consciousness to the point where faith andbelief are exchanged for seeing and knowing..... ... Read more

Extemporaneous riff
My mother-in-law has false teeth. Full set of choppers. Lost them all before she was 20. In the US.

Just saying.

No one, not even her husband of half a century, has seen her without the teeth in. She gave birth with teeth in!

Just saying. I shouldn't make sport. I don't devote much time to dental hygeine beyond brushing once or twice a day. Floss, feh! I'll end up with store-boughts eventually, too, I guess. (But I'll take 'em out to scare door-to-door pests!)

Good Intro, Short On Details
This book tells you what to look out for during examination and diagnosis and how to make use of study casts for treatment planning. I find the chapters on bone grafting to be especially helpful.

However, there are 2 problems. As expected in this sunrise industry, the implant systems featured in the book are already quite outdated. I can't imagine myself using an external hex anymore. Restoration nowadays is also a lot less complicated with a wider range of abutments and other accessories.

Secondly, the surgical techniques are almost never explained in detail. Perhaps an interactive handson course would be better able to impart that, but if you're a newbie, don't expect to learn much about surgical procedures. A bit disappointing for me when I first bought it, given the size and price of the book.

What Every Young Dentist Should Know And Not Be Afraid to Ask
This comprehensive dental implant textbook is a must for the dentist who wants to be well informed on the intricacies of placing and restoring dental implants.

From case selection to surgical technique and prosthetic applications, this book is not only informative, but should be reviewed regularly.Even maintenance and hygiene protocols are addressed in wonderful detail.

The young dental student coming out of their program needs to comprehend many techniques not completely taught in dental school.Dental implants have proven to be a viable alternative to conventional dental treatment and need to be understood well to discuss with potential patients.

Dr. Babbush has done a wonderful job going through the physiology and technical aspects of modern dental therapy.

Occlusion and clinical practice
It is a good book when I just touching the "foreword".As its mention, it is an elegant, carefully crafted textbook.I will keep on reading until the end.Occlusion is a very special topic to dentistry.Few books talk about this topic.That means it is attractive, or otherwise you will feel boring of reading it. ...

No 3-D effect!
The book has printed with poor quality. Or the glasses inside doesn't have the right lenses: 3D effect is not good, with a lot of ghosting effect.

Eye Popping 3-D PETS
I love this book!The images are truly "eye-popping"
I plan to share this book with my niece who loves animals, but struggles with her reading skills.I feel this book may encourage her to battle her negative feelings towards books in general!

Can't believe my eyes!
I just got this book to share with my niece and nephews. I can't believe my eyes! It's great!I could not be happier. Great for 1 on 1 time with a child. Just remember if you wear glasses you will need them also. This book is great for any age!

eye-poppin 3-D pets
I pd for this book over a month ago and have not rec'd it. In all the yers I've ordered books from Amazon this is a first, very disappointed as this was one of my grandsons B'day presents.

Review from www.firrkids.com
Authors and publishers are so clever these days about finding great new ways to get kids interested in reading. Talk about making a book truly interactive! This one comes with two pairs of 3-D glasses neatly tucked in a pocket on the inside cover. Don't lose them - you'll need these wild glasses to make the animals leap right off the pages.

Phantograms are a form of an optical illusion. The illusion of depth is produced with a combination of two images that appear smudged (or as this book calls it, "a blurry mess") to the naked eye. Once you don the special specs however, the color filtering power of the glasses makes the image appear to be three dimensional! To kids, this bit of science translates to be really, really cool.

Not just a barrage of fancy photos, this book is also chock full of valuable information for exactly twenty-eight types of pets. A full page of information is provided on each animal, including instructions on how to care for that pet, habits, temperaments and helpful hints. You actually get a sense of what it would be like to own each animal - before you really do own that animal.

Of course, the big hook here is the 3D glasses and really neat rise-from-the-pages animals. But this is also a great resource when your family just isn't sure which pet would be the best fit for your household. Thinking about getting a potbellied pig? Maybe you didn't know that they are easy to train and can be taught lots of fun tricks. Or is a leopard gecko more your speed? Be careful not to grab that little guy by the tail, as it will break right off. Read about those animals, plus Guinea pigs, ferrets, frogs, parrots, tarantulas and more.

Overall, this is a wonderful book on household animals that will capture (and hold) the attention of children of many ages. Great photography, a neat use of science and just plain useful information will get your kids immersed in learning as much as they can about these animals. Just don't lose the glasses! ... Read more
