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
Viruses and viral infections are of increasing importance in oral medicine and dentistry, whether through association with particular orofacial diseases, particularly in immunocompromised patients, or in terms of cross-infection. Clinical practice, however, has frequently failed to adapt to the major advances in recent years in the understanding of the molecular biology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of viral infections. This highly illustrated reference text bridges the gap between the research laboratory and the clinic. It provides a foundation for the understanding of relevant virology by the student or graduate in dentistry and the dental sciences. Following an overview of basic human virology, including immunology and molecular biology, the clinical aspects of viral infections are considered with particular reference to oral lesions. For each virus, the clinical features, diagnosis, management and potential for cross-infection are discussed. The final section of the book covers orofacial diseases for which there is only a tentative viral aetiology. A comprehensive bibliography is integrated with the text for ease of reference. This book is therefore an essential text for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students. It will also serve practitioners and research workers in oral virology and immunology, as a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information and ideas relating to virology in dental practice. ...

Veterinary Dentistry: Principles and Practice
Most of the dentistry texts that you will find here are too general to be helpful in advancing your knowledge of dentistry. This text was recommended to me by a board certified veterinary dentist as a way to learn the etiology and the "why" eveything is done as it is. If you are at that place where you are learning more advanced procedures and techniques but you need some good knowledge to pair with your new skills, this is probably the text with which to start. There are also other texts here from the AVDS reading list but this is a great general text.

outdated
I returned this book.I found it outdated, and did not see the many scripts that another reviewer spoke about.If you are looking for an academic book on hypnotherapy, I highly recommend Michael Yapko's Trancework.Yapko wrote the introduction to this book, which is one of the reasons why I bought it, but it turns out that he emphasizes the author's contribution to the field of hypnosis some decades ago, and not the material in the book.

Excellent text and reference book
This book is an extremely useful and pleasant to read thorough review of all apects relating to hypnosis and can be used by professionals who are already certified hypnotherapists as well as laymen. The language is clear and the reading flows easily. The intention to make his work accessible to all readers becomes quite clear as soon as one starts reading. Naturally, since it was first issued, some new knowledge, specially in the field of neurosciences, has become public but this does in no way diminish the broad approach given by the author. I'd recommend the book to anyone interested in the fascinating subject "hypnosis"
