Reseñas

The inclusion of learning objectives and self-assessment in each section make this is a valuable learning and revision aid. For those approaching examinations, the variety of questions is stimulating and good practice. This book is ideal for students, who can use it as an introduction before exploring more specialized books, and read it as part of their revision.

European Journal of Orthodontics, 2009

The Master Dentistry series covers Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Radiology, Pathology, Oral Medicine, Restorative, Paediatrics and Orthodontics. The books provide a good overview of the subject areas and I found them particularly useful during exam times. The text is appropriately supplemented with great diagrams and the layout of the books makes all the subject areas easy to access and find.


At the end of each chapter there are self assessment questions which were really useful and would aid any student’s learning. Each chapter has a helpful overview and learning objectives are provided throughout each chapter.


The books give a great summary of all the subject areas they cover but need to be used in conjunction with a more detailed textbook. I used them quite often if I didn't understand a certain part of a lecture as the wording is easy to understand and is uncomplicated. They're a must for any dental student’s bookshelf.
