Case Studies in Dental Hygiene, Third Edition, is designed to guide the development of criti-cal-thinking skills and the application of theory to care at all levels of dental hygiene education–from beginning to advanced students. This textbook is designed to be used throughout the dental hygiene curriculum. Because the questions and decisions regarding treatment of each case span the dental hygiene sciences and clinical practice protocols, this book will find a place in enhanc-ing every course required of dental hygiene students. Introducing this text at the beginning of the educational experience may help the student realize early on the link between theory and patient care. Students then progress through the program with a heightened awareness of evidence-based practice.   Students also perceive an increase in confidence regarding preparation for board examina-tions when they have been given the opportunity to practice case-based decision making. Case Studies in Dental Hygiene, Third Edition, is a viable study guide to help students prepare for suc-cess on national, regional, and state examinations with a patient care focus. This revised edition also is an excellent review text for the graduating dental hygiene student who is preparing to take the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination.

A class I'm taking required this book. I didn't purchase because I "wanted to"- but I must admit these assignments make me think & evaluate complex but common situations that I may experience with patients in the future as a RDH. The only thing I don't like so far, is that it seems to inject information at the end of each case study in the "setting patient goals". I try to do my own care plan first & compare with the book. Then I look over what the book has & it will state a condition (say, xerostomia) that the patient has, but no where does it say that previously. It seems like information is "made up" by the author. It's pretty frustrating. That aside, the complexity of each case study is great. It makes you work outside of the book- looking up medications, health conditions, interpretation of radiographs & intraoral photos. it gives great objectives to focus on & questions to answer that are really vital to understand & apply correctly. It's a good supplement to my class material.

This book is great for studying for the National Dental Hygiene Exam. Great case studies! Really really helpful. Totally worth the money. I recomend it to everyone!

This book was extremely helpful while studying for the National Dental Hygiene Board Exam. This book includes the story of the patient, their medical history, periodontal and hard tissue chart, intra-oral photos and radiographs. The questions are great and I was happy with the answer portion because it gave an explanation why it was that answer. I really enjoyed the different patient categories as well. I felt very prepared for the case study portion of the exam because of this book.

It is a great book, gives an idea of how the case studies for the national Board exam is going to look like. With the answers explained at the back of the book, it makes it really a great review book.

I bought this book to study for the process of care dental hygiene WREB test. It was harder then it had to be very tricky book and it didnt really help with the test at all.

Not the most fun purchase but very interesting. The case studies are great with good pictures, X-rays and back stories.

Great resource! Although I have to admit, these case studies were actually much harder than the ones from the National Board Exam.This book overall, is a good way of familiarizing yourself with case studies for the board exam. I love how the answer key not only gives you the answer to the questions, but it also provides a clear explanation as to why that specific answer was chosen.

Horrible book!!! If the questions actually pertained to the patients I might have given it 2 stars. Since when did we start probing 8 year old children and why would a blood pressure of 103/62 contribute to someone's panic? (Just a couple examples of how poorly written)Don't waste your money on any of her books!
