Reference for every dentist
This excellent reference should be on the desk on every practicing dentist. It provides concise useful information on pharmaceuticals and their interactions with dental anesthetics and epinepherine.

Clinician's Review
I've used 4 different drug reference books including the PDR. For the Clinical Dentist this is the best one I've ever used. The pertinent information the dentist needs is concveiently written in red. There are other very useful chapters in the back of the book. Excellent choice.

A real sleep stealer
For action packed info this is the book for you

Excellent reference book

The information is concise and isdirectly related to drug interactions and dental treatment, especiallydental anesthetics. Very good book to have handy in the dental office. ... Read more

BEFORE YOU HAVE DENTAL WORK, READ THIS BOOK
Metal in your mouth, fillings, crowns, implants, should be considered carefully. This book will help you to be an informed dental patient. Dentistry is changing radically for the better. Educate yourself.

If you have teeth, you should read this book.
Written in language a common person can understand. Very informative concerning how the teeth are connected to all parts of the body and not just separate pieces of the body. As a novice in learning about whole body health, this book helped me tremendously to understand meridians and the improtance of a healthy mouth.

One Big Conspiracy
This is the sort of book for paranoid people addicted to conspiracy theories. They would rather believe a fanciful lie than the mundane truth.

Though I don't agree with most of what's written in this book, I don't regret buying it. It teaches me how to con ignorant people with high tech jargon and conspiracy theories. If people BELIEVE that amalgams or metal restorations are the cause of their headaches, fatigue or whatever symptoms, then removing them will definitely cure them. That's how faith healing works.

The only reason why I don't use amalgam in my practice is because I do cosmetic dentistry. If the patient does not mind the colour, amalgam is definitely a superior direct filling material for Class 2 and subgingival preps. I have absolutely no qualms about having that done for myself.

Toxicity? Sure, some people are affected by amalgams and anything can be toxic to somebody, but let's not forget that these cases are extremely rare (perhaps less than 10 on this planet and most of them would be Chinese). There are literally thousands of tests and studies establishing amalgams as safe filling materials over the last 100 years. There are numerous studies that show how safe amalgams are. If Dr Breiner has been to Asia where we have much healthier diets and lifestyles, he may notice that we also have many healthy 70 to 90-year-old Asian men and women who have gold and amalgam-filled teeth in their mouths.

Are composites totally safe? The incidence of allergic reactions to composites (very low) is higher than that of amalgam toxicity. This is something the author failed to inform us. All his anecdotal evidence are almost laughable as they are not supported by independent studies and sceptical parties. Not one case he mentioned can be conclusively attributed to amalgam. Mercury can be very toxic, but after tituration and amalgamation, the metal remains in the solid state and is not absorbed by the body. It's different from inhaling mercury vapour daily, injecting or ingesting mercury or mercuric compounds.

At the end of the day, propagating such beliefs will only spark panic, paranoia and various psychosomatic "illnesses". Following Breiner's protocols for "detox", patients will only be paying a fortune for otherwise very simple dental work. Gosh, with so many gullible patients in America, I should probably move my practice to America and start doing amalgam detox instead of honing my skills for cutting crowns, bridges and sinking implants.

Highly recommended
This book was great, it really enlightened me to the mouth being the entry to the whole body.I will be going to an integrative, whole body dentist next!Definitely worth reading!

Compelling Information about Whole Body Dentistry
This was a very informative and well written book about "alternative dentistry". Dr. Breiner explains the differences between traditional and whole body dentistry in easy to understand terms. He gave many examples of the types of health problems which can be related to amalgams, root canals, periodontal work, orthodontics and bridges and partials. He also described the kind of exam and treatment a whole body dentist would use. A great read. ... Read more

As a general practitioner who uses this book to answer fairly routine questions about care and treatment of children, I recommend it highly. It is easy to read and well organized. It openly acknowledges areas ofambiguity or controversy in the field and gives what appears to be abalanced view of the issues.

Great buy
If you have no experience in the field of dentistry, but you want a biological or chemical background to the subject, this is the book to get.Other books were too advanced for my level of knowledge (undergrad interested in dentistry); however, this book is structured like a general biology textbook (very comprehensive and understandable).I strongly recommend this book if you are interested in dentistry, the science behind dentistry, prepping for dentistry school, or if you merely want to know your dentist's lingo.

Sturdevant'stext book
This is an excellent text book. The text is very clear and organized on every topic and easy to read with good diagrams and pictures. Each page gives you a wealth of information.
Each chapter starts with chapter outline that guides the reader through the book and makes it more organized. It covers topics such as Cariology(The lesion, etiology, prevention and control), Biomaterials, Fundamentals in tooth preparation, Instruments and equipments for tooth preparation, Composite restorations, Amalgam and Metal restorations and a lot more in greater details. The quality of the book is also good and the price tag is reasonable.

Book Description
For those on both sides of the dreaded dentist's chair, James Wynbrandt has written a witty, colorful, and richly informative history of the art and science of dentistry.To all of those dental patients whose whine rises in tandem with that of the drill, take note: You would do well to stifle your terror and instead offer thanks to Apollonia, the patron saint of toothache sufferers, that you face only fleeting discomfort rather than the disfiguring distress, or slow agonizing death oft meted out by dental-care providers of the past.The transition from yesterday's ignorance, misapprehension, and superstition to the enlightened and nerve-deadened protocols of today has been a long, slow, and very painful process.For example, did you know that: *Among the toothache remedies favored by Pierre Fauchard, the father of dentistry, was rinsing the mouth liberally with one's own urine. *George Washington never had wooden teeth.However, his chronic dental problems may have impacted the outcome of the American Revolution. *Soldiers in the Civil War needed at least two opposing front teeth to rip open powder envelopes.Some men called up for induction had their front teeth extracted to avoid service. *Teeth were harvested from as many as fifty thousand corpses after the Battle of Waterloo, a huge crop later used for dentures and transplants that became known as "Waterloo Teeth." ...

Great book
This book has a great review of all head and neck structures. Wonderful pictures as always with Netter, and great succinct tables with review information.

Must Have
This book is a must have for dental students!!Along with diagrams, it contains tables, and charts that explain origin and insertion of muscles and their innervation.The big edition of Netter does not supply the detail of information that is in this book.I Could not have survived 1st year dental school anatomy course without it!!Also gives instructions on nerve block anesthesia.

Great condensed book for anatomy
This book is easily one of the best pocket books for anatomy for dental stuents you will ever get your hands on.There are those netter flashcards which are good and small, but they don't have nearly the amount of information that this book has.Kudos to Norton for putting this together along with new illustrations from other artists, and this book also includes anesthesia and good detailed drawings on the nerve blocks in the mouth.Lots of tables and functions, etc.

I liked to carry this book around with me while I was doing random errands, like standing in line at the bank or when I was just waiting around before class, etc.It is a great reference.

Also includes some great clinical cases which as a dentist you will likely encounter at some time in your practice.

Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry
the book is very thorough explaining all about periodontology. But in some chapters, sometimes the words are so complex and need to be read repeatedly in order to get the meaning of the authors.In my opinion, using the simplest word is possible the best option for every reader, especially when you are in hurry time before exam, the simplest word is making the life easier. This book is recommended by my tutors.

Mixed feelings
There is a lot of information in this book, and I mean a lot.That's a good thing right?Yes and no.For being such a large, reference oriented book, this has one of the worst indexes I have ever seen.Its terrible.They obviously spent a great deal of time on the book, and its mind-boggling that they wouldn't put a good index in.As such, this is pretty much worthless for quick references.So we are left with a HUGE book, probably suitable only for perio residents, since they are probably the only ones with the motivation, obssesiveness, and lack of sanity to plow through this.Add a good index, and I'd give it five stars. ...

Stedman's is the best!
Absolutely agree with the earlier review posted below.This volume was published in 1999, and an updated volume should be coming along soon, but meanwhile, this exhaustive collection of words relating especially to ears, nose, throat, and teeth is without peer.If you're an MT looking into expanding your library because you've found yours wanting, Stedman's is the place to look, and this book is a crucial part of such a library.

Best reference for plastic surgery/ENT/dentistry words
"Plastic Surgery/ENT/Dentistry Words" is a gem of a reference for the transcriptionist doing work in any of these specialty areas.It is chock full with 69,000 entries derived from >40,000 medical words,phrases, abbreviations, and acronyms.These are convenientlycross-referenced.Who of us has not heard, for example, some kind of"flap" mumbled by the dictator while transcribing a surgicalreport; here, a list of >4½ pages of various types of flaps areblessedly enumerated.Additionally, surgical instruments and medicationsare handily listed as well.

Four appendixes complete this volume: 1)anatomical illustrations [54 pages of them!], 2) sample reports [op notes]ranging in variety from typical liposuction surgery to an orbiculopexy, 3)common terms of procedure [such as septoplasty terms, etc.], and 4) commonherbs in both Latin and common terminology.This latter is interesting,but I am confounded as to what is its use in this volume.

Nevertheless,this handy volume is really the Bible when it comes to a reference foranyone transcribing medical reports in the above-mentioned specialty areas. I recommend it highly! ... Read more

Must read if you're thinking of cosmetic work on your teeth
I'm an attorney so I'm skeptical by nature, but I really think this book is invaluable if you're thinking about improving your teeth with a cosmetic procedure.
