Dentist on the Ward 2015 (5th) Edition: An Introduction to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for Postgraduate Core Trainees in Dentistry

Four new chapters have been added to the 5th edition of Dentist on the Ward making it a ‘must have’ for any dentist starting work in an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department for the first time. The book gives clear advice on everything that the new trainee might be expected to be acquainted with and practical guidance in key clinical situations which will be encountered. As well as instruction in simple practical procedures there are chapters devoted to the understanding of more complex conditions that will be encountered in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The book is written by two Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons with decades of experience in supervising and teaching young dentists working in their departments. It is unique in providing simple guidance for dentally qualified trainees and focuses on practice, procedures and theory, which are important to them. It simplifies the essential medical knowledge needed for hospital work and differentiates it from detail found in standard medical or surgical textbooks that they do not necessarily need to know.
