Every working and instructing dental professional should readthis text concerning medically compromised patients. It updates, aswell as reviews, the important topics that are seen every day in private practice. Especially important is the areas of TB, HIV, and diabetes, although recent information may need to be added by the practioner (check out internet sites for these). Introductory tables are a must for reference in a clinical situation. I have used it a reference text in my clinical practice and in my continuing education courses.
This was an invaluable book that I only glanced at a few times during dental school, but during both my hospital based-general practice residency and pediatric residency was my constant guide. It provides both medical and dental management for most encountered problems that patients present with and has lots of great quick reference tables!
A little bit out-of-date in the way body systems are reviewed in the Center (body) part of the book. Principally, the single section that I found valuable throughout my Dental school was the summary review of systems that is offered at the front of the book, which worked as a fast reference (basically, I tore that section off from the rest of the book!). Nevertheless, it might still work in a better way when it comes to being used by some residents in certain fields like that of surgery, GPR, AEGD, and so forth where they need to go over the boring center (body) of the book.
I bought a MUCH earlier edition of this book when I was an Oral Surgery resident. It was a required reference, and mandated reading, before it was put aside to be used as a reference. The earlier edition was very good- excellent even, but it is such a gem now! First of all the quality of the book is amazing, even though it is softcover. Semigloss pages and beautiful pictures throughout. There is such great background of the diseases, without burdening you with pages and pages of info, but not just a summary; it is a thoughtful review of the disease/process, and then the dental implications.I don't know if this book is still used by most Oral Surgery programs, or used in dental schools. It should be. It is a MUST have for all dentists. I list it as one of the 3 or 4 best books on my professional bookshelf.Why did I get a new one? I returned to school for a Master's in Facial Pain and Oral Medicine and thought just maybe things had changed in 30 years. This book is not just a rehash of the earlier material. It is extensively updated. It's just so good!
This is a great book. I am reading it whenever I have down time, and it is a great reminder of all the little aspect of systemic illnesses that I might forget if I didn't have some type of regular reminder.
I have found it very useful since we have started to deal with more and more patients with multiple pathologies. Dentists also cope with the situations when our patients are prescribed numerous drugs. This excellent reference is a great help in delivering better dental treatment in these cases. It is well organized, with many charts, pictures and diagrams. The amount of the material demands time to process(you might not memorize it overnight). I even had to get a couple of time through the certain chapters to fully accomplish my studying. From my point of view it is a benefit because this book is not just for a brief screening, it is for deep contemplation. It guarantees to stay in your professional library!
This text has become the standard reference and source of definitive information for dental management of medically compromised patients. It serves as the textbook for Oral Medicine in many dental schools and offers practitioners valuable insight into care for acutely and chronically ill patients.
This book is really important and detailed regarding the dental management of medically compromised patients. You must have this book, especially if you are practicing in the United States and Canada. It is a very useful book in whatever country you are.You will find a lot of helpful tables and summaries that correlates to clinical practice.You'll never regret having this book in you collection, it is highly valuable.
