Reviews
'A good buy for the practice for use of all members of staff, particularly trainee assistants, receptionists and practice managers.' - Dental Health, December 1994 - British Dental Journal, February 1995.

Book Description
ALL colour throughout showing instruments actual size for easier identification. Smaller items have been enlarged to show detail.

Students at Orpington College have successfully used this book as part of their National Certificate syllabus for two consecutive years. The book has been helpful in preparing candidates both for the Spotter and Practical elements of the National Examination.
Although we have used it during a National Certificate course, it lends itself just as easily to any student undertaking NVQ training at levels 2 and 3. It promotes the learning and identification of a vast range of dental surgery equipment, and would be useful to any practice member who is involved in the ordering of stock and equipment.
Photographs are clear, showing enlargement of many tiny details (scaler tips, burs etc) so facilitating easier identification. Labels are easy to obscure in order to carry out self assessment of knowledge. The book is 44 pages, full colour throughout.
