Basic Guide to Dental Instruments provides a working inventory of
dental instrumentation in common use in dental surgeries. A clear
photograph of each instrument is included, and described according to
name, usage, any relevant features and varieties. Each section is
dedicated to a specific discipline or division of dentistry. Complete
set-ups have been included at the end of most sections for various
procedures. The coverage reflects instrumentation and accessory items
used in general dental practice, routine hospital dental procedures and
selected specialist settings.
The author adopts a flexible approach which recognises that some
instruments are multi-functional, and their names and usage can vary
across dental surgeries. This approach, coupled with the range of
instruments covered, makes the book an ideal 'portable' resource across
general practice, hospital and a range of specialist settings. The book
also highlights instruments which can be easily confused. In addition to
detailing the classic sets of dental instruments, the importance of
instrument care and sterilisation regimes is acknowledged.
This second edition contains an expanded chapter on instruments used in
conjunction with dental implants, and illustrations have been updated
throughout.
