Book description
Fully revised and updated to reflect changes in clinical practice,
legislation and regulation, this groundbreaking textbook intertwines the
subjects of dental hygiene and dental therapy to provide a comprehensive
resource for students of these courses, as well as those studying new
degree programmes in oral health science. The
Clinical Textbook of Dental Hygiene and Therapy
is designed as a dedicated companion text for these disciplines and
should enable students to streamline their primary reading. Following
course developments and an expansion in the remits of both hygienists
and therapists, this book is written not only for students, but also as
a revision aid for those already in practice. Interactive questions on a
companion website allow the reader to test their knowledge and
understanding.
The opening section of the book is dedicated to relevant oral sciences:
anatomy; histology; embryology; oral medicine and pathology. The
clinical section contains fourteen chapters which provide coverage of
the core syllabus for dental hygiene and therapy. The final section is
dedicated to primary dental care services and law, ethics and
professionalism.
