All the pages were there but I at least expected the book to look presentable. It is torn from the side & it seems like the cover will come off soon. Some parts of the cover are also missing and the book looks very unwell-taken cared of.

great book.highly recommended by ATOMO Dental (http://www.atomodental.com/), the best dental supplies wholesaler.

It took me to recieve this book almost one month, but it was worth to wait. The book was brand new. Thank you so much for providing such a great product!

Book is very detailed, but they need to focus more on the Dental Assisting rather than dental hygiene part of it.

Book was brand new still in its wrapping container, loved it! It was shipped on time for my semester course.

I'm using it as a study guide. I really like that it is streamed from Kindle. The paperback is HEAVY!!

Yes I was very pleased with the product. It was in perfect condition. I give it a 5-star rating

the printing isnt that great because it rubs off with an eraser.
