Book Description
Postgraduate dental training has recently undergone a radical revision with the
aim of providing a better career path for the general dental practitioner. New
examinations have been established which will help bridge the gulf between
undergraduate training and specialist examinations. Part of this revision has
led to the integration of the basic sciences with clinical practice, which has
created a need for new texts to cover the amended syllabus.
Clinical Oral Science includes twenty chapters, some of them based on
articles previously published in the British Dental Journal. Completely
up-to-date, this new text fills the need for new texts to cover recent changes
in the dental curriculum. Clinical Oral Science is also suitable for countries
where the postgraduate examinations are based on the British system: e.g. South
East Asia, South Africa.
Readership: 1. Postgraduate level candidates for higher examinations,
including the Primary Dental Fellowship. 2. Senior undergraduates
