Very Useful for CDT exam

Reviewed in the United States on 4 January 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this when preparing for the CDT comprehensive exam. I have a specialty in Orthodontics, but was not as familiar with the other disciplines ( ceramics, full and partial dentures, etc), so I needed a basic text with pictures to help me orient the other specialties I would be studying for the test. This was excellent for that purpose. I found it to be basic, but accurate in relation to the Air Force Manuals as far as content. It was easy to understand and the wealth of pictures, although small, helped me to visualize unfamiliar processes in a way I could recall. I was able to pass the comprehensive on the first try. The layout was also good for review sessions, an easy text to take around with me for quick study. I will use it again to take my Full Denture written exam in March.

Finally, a book about dental technology

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2011

Verified Purchase

I was waiting for such a book to be published for a long time. This book is the ultimate guide for students in the dental field. The best thing about it is its layout. Every step has its own diagram. It is full of tips and tricks placed in coloured boxes. Every aspect of dental technology is covered ( complete dentures, Removable partial dentures, Fixed Partial dentures, orthodontic appliances and more). Highly recommended.
