I bought this book for an upcoming class. I was very pleased that this book was in great condition. I would definitley recommend to others to buy their books online versus spending more at the bookstore.
Some of the topics in this text can be a bit dry, so in that aspect it is hard to read otherwise it is a good text. Very thorough and has been helpful in my dental hygiene schooling so far.
I don't know why, but the online access code contained within the book was not needed. I was able to sign up on the evolve website without typing in the access code.
This book is the holly grail of my program. I have used it for every class. Great for referencing for papers.
Purchased as a gift for my sister in Dental Hygiene school. She recommends it for the price.
came in great condition
