Description
The Basic Guide to Dental Instruments provides a comprehensive inventory of dental instrumentation in common use in dental surgeries. The book features clear photographs of each instrument, along with detailed descriptions of their name, usage, features, and varieties.
Organised by discipline or division of dentistry, the book covers instrumentation and accessory items used in general dental practice, routine hospital dental procedures, and selected specialist settings. The author's flexible approach acknowledges the multi-functional nature of some instruments, which can have different names and usage across dental surgeries.
This second edition includes an expanded chapter on instruments used in conjunction with dental implants, as well as revised illustrations throughout. The book also highlights instruments that can be easily confused, and provides guidance on instrument care and sterilisation regimes.
