This text is an awesome accessory or solo book for learning about local anesthetics, techniques and for a dental hygienist taking the local anesthetic certification course. Our class required Mahlmeds text, but I am glad I purchased this as a resource. I wish it could have been the standard text for the class. It has a great feel -softcover, not too thick and easy to highlite notes in, it fit in my tote bag making it easy to carry around. I was nervous about taking on the task of learning to administer anesthetics after being out of college ahem...25+ years this book greatly took the pressure off. I found reading it to flow well. The book offers great charts, full color photos and every chapter has a nice 20 question review test and scenario question. I found there was much more compiled colored reference pages than the required class text. The section on injections were much more detailed in step by step with photos and instructor an Oral Surgeon agreed the needle angles during injection photos shown were much more accurate than class text. The publisher also has a companion website to receive end chapter answers, and mock tests.It was a great companion rescource while studying for class. I would first read this book, then required class text. Halfway through I would just skim our class text as I found out this author covered it better and much more easy to understand. Oh, an awesome thing -the index in the back seemed so intuitive- when I thought of a topic I needed to get an answer to, or locate in book -it usually did not fail me vs class text was less than steller results. I just finished taking the NERB Local Anesthetic exam, awaiting results and feel this book made me much more confident in taking it and helping me pass.Local Anesthesia for the Dental Hygienist, 1e
I just took the NERB for Local Anesthesia and I got a 90%. This book was really helpful. For the class I took, we were to get Malamed's book, which I only read certain chapters and skimmed others. What I loved about Local Anesthesia for the Dental Hygienist was the tests at the end of each chapter and the website for more practice tests on the computer which were free with the purchase of this book. There were case studies also. I felt I learned it better with the test questions, Malamed's book didn't have any tests at the end of the chapters. Yes, there were errors in this book, and a few of the answers to some test questions were wrong. I did e-mail the author and she said she would have them changed, but I haven't seen the changes yet. So what I did was read this whole book first, taking all the tests in the book and online. I skimmed Malamed's book, and when I took the class, I felt like a really knew the material, I believe from taking the tests, it helps you learn it so much better, it makes you look up more things. Anyone wondering if this purchase is worth it, it is!
I have recently taken the local anesthesia and pain control course for dental hygienists. Our required textbook was Malameds. Upon research I noticed that many hygienists were also purchasing this book. I did the same and am so happy I have. It contains the same material as Malamed but in a language that dental hygienists can comprehend so easily. It includes case studies, easy to understand graphs and equations, and has test questions after each chapter. The only downside is that I could never access the online material the book claims you have access to with the purchase of the book. Two of the instructors that taught my course also reviewed this book. They are considering changing the required text to this textbook at next years local anesthesia course.
I am a dental hygiene instructor and and my colleagues and I chose this book because it was recommended by other course members. It seems to be the source for educating us for certification. Logethetis has done a fine job on giving us what is needed to pass the written. The author or publisher needs a good proofreader; too many errors in spelling. My favorite portion of each chapter is the Dental Hygiene "need to know" section.
This book is perfect for local anethesia. The material is presented very well and easily understandable. The online material is helpful for the quizzes and further understanding the concepts. This book will certainly help prepare one for boards.I'm currently taking her course and was told that Chapter 8 is no longer relevant for the calculations due to the new WREB recommendations. Her new addition will be updated to accommodate these changes.
Highly recommended! Precise and to the point. Easy to follow and understand. Great visuals. Great practice exams & mock exam. I did great on my computerized LA exam by having this book and the exams as my study tool.
It is a great book to have!! I bought this book ( Kindle version); I use it as on of my dental reference books at work. This book is truly a great book to have; it has all the great information just Malamed's book but I feel that it is a lot more relatable to a hygienist. Therefore it is easier for me to remember and to understand information in the book. It gives you examples and scenarios and solutions that you may face.
