A Colour Handbook of Small Animal Dental and Oral Maxillofacial Diseases
Manson Publishing, August 2011, Pages: 273
"A Colour Handbook of Small Animal Dental and Oral Maxillofacial Diseases" has been updated and revised with new data for 2011.
In an area of growing interest to veterinarians, the authors have produced a rapid reference to the practical clinical aspects of small animal dentistry. The text is arranged to reflect the clinician's thinking and approach to problems: background information, clinical relevance, key points, differential diagnoses, diagnostic tests, and management. Some 400 top-quality illustrations—colour photos, imaging and diagrams— provide a critically important complement to the text.
The colour handbook offers real-life insights into the progression of oral disease and will be welcomed as a working resource by veterinary practitioners and students, and as a valuable review by more advanced veterinary dentists.
Key features:
- Covers all aspects of dental diseases including the teeth, gums and problems associated with systemic disease
- Also includes anatomy and physiology and oral examination techniques
- Contains superb colour illustrations
- A comprehensive reference encouraging structured and thorough clinical technique
