Student Workbook for Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist

The newest edition of Wilkins's Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist continues to provide a comprehensive outline of the principles and practices of dental hygiene care. The book has long been considered a "must-have" for the dental hygiene educator, and this newest edition is no exception. With the addition of new chapters on dental caries, pediatric oral health care, family abuse and neglect, and the patient with a respiratory disease, as well as extensive revisions to other chapters, the book is broad in scope. In addition to the very helpful "Factors to Teach the Patient" section at the end of each chapter, "Everyday Ethics" has been added, with examples of ethical dilemmas that occur in daily practice. One of the greatest strengths of the text is its no-nonsense outline form. This structure allows quick review of material for pertinent facts, appeals to the time-conscious reader, and provides large quantities of information without excessive prose. Excellent organization includes concise tables, key words, and helpful illustrations. This easy-to-follow format reflects the high professional standards we have come to expect from Dr. Wilkins.
