Book Description
A pocket guide to all aspects of clinical dentistry relevant to the undergraduate course, which will be consulted by students as an aide memoir in clinical situations. In terms of page design, organisation and content, this book is a 'Hayes for dental students' which improves on the competing 'Oxford Handbook of Clinical Dentistry' in much the same way as Hayes did on the Oxford equivalent. (Hayes: Churchill's Pocketbook of Medicine)

Synopsis
A pocket guide to all aspects of clinical dentistry relevant to the undergraduate course, to be used for quick reference in clinical situations. It presents the essential core of information on dental conditions, practical procedures and patient management.

Book Description
Clinical Problem Solving in Dentistry is designed to explain to dental students the processes of diagnosis and treatment planning, through consideration of clinical cases and problems which involve aspects of all the dental specialties. Dental students need to learn to cope with the fact that the problems of an individual patient do not necessarily fall into neat categories. They may require a combination of operative, periodontal and prosthodontic treatment - as the book is based around clinical cases and problems, it enables them to do this, and also prepares the student for their final exams and the real world of clinical practice.
