Basic Guide to Dental Instruments / Basic Guide Dentistry Series (PDF)

Basic Guide to Dental Instruments provides a working
inventory of dental instrumentation in common use in dental
surgeries. A clear photograph of each instrument is included, and
described according to name, usage, any relevant features and
varieties. Each section is dedicated to a specific discipline or
division of dentistry. Complete set-ups have been included at the
end of most sections for various procedures. The coverage reflects
instrumentation and accessory items used in general dental
practice, routine hospital dental procedures and selected
specialist settings.

The author adopts a flexible approach which recognises that some
instruments are multi-functional, and their names and usage can
vary across dental surgeries. This approach, coupled with the range
of instruments covered, makes the book an ideal 'portable' resource
across general practice, hospital and a range of specialist
settings. The book also highlights instruments which can be easily
confused. In addition to detailing the classic sets of dental
instruments, the importance of instrument care and sterilisation
regimes is acknowledged.

This second edition contains an expanded chapter on instruments
used in conjunction with dental implants, and illustrations have
been updated throughout.
