Dentistry at a Glance is the central title in the At a Glance series for dentistry students. It leads students through the General Dental Council's learning outcomes, from the principles of core issues such as patient confidentiality and taking a patient history, to the diagnosis and treatment of presentations in key clinical areas, including medical emergencies, endodontics, dental trauma, oral medicine and pathology, the medically compromised patient, and orthodontics. Sections on oral healthcare issues and crucial practical guidance on running a dental practice complete the comprehensive coverage.
With each topic presented as a double-page spread and key concepts accompanied by colourful illustrations, Dentistry at a Glance is a concise and accessible introduction to the study of dentistry, as well as a useful revision guide for newly-qualified dentists developing their careers.
