Grate

Product was in excellent condition delivered on time very good seller. If needed I will defiantly purchase from him again

great book

This book is very informative and easy to read and understand. The chapters are short which means they are not trying to put in to much info all at once. I got this book for school and I actually enjoy reading it.

This is a terrific update of a classic text.

This edition combines the latest dental information with the best of teaching techniques to make this an extremely valuable text for anyone wanting to know more about dental assiting. An interactive CD-ROM, packaged with the book, makes this edition even more exciting!
