Dental Instruments, 2nd Edition
- A Pocket Guide
Key Features
The perfect study tool! Each instrument is featured on two pages with a picture
of the instrument on one page and the instrument’s name, functions, and
characteristics on the other.
Each chapter features high-quality photos or line drawings of instruments
specific to that chapter to make it easy for students to quickly recognize and
identify the instrument.
The flashcard format helps students to learn and retain information.
Handy pocket size makes it convenient to carry and use at any time.
Spiral binding allows the book to lay flat or fold over to make visible just the
instrument, just its description, or both.
Includes chapters that focus specifically on instruments used in dental
specialties such as endodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery.
Descriptions of instruments use the same three categories: 1) Name, 2) Function,
and 3) Characteristics.
Many chapters feature a tray set-up at the end, showing how instruments are
typically laid out for a specific procedure.
The Evolve website features instructor materials such as teaching tips, an image
collection, a test bank, and web links.
New to this Edition
An all-new, full-color design makes this text more visually appealing.
All-new color photos allow students to see exactly how instruments/equipment
appear in the dental practice.
All-new line art helps students to zero in on specific elements/areas of the
instrument.
For many instruments, close-ups of the working ends are shown to help students
distinguish between similar-looking instruments.
A new chapter on instrument sterilization features instruments and equipment
used in the practice of infection control.
More hygiene instruments have been added to the hygiene chapter, increasing the
book’s appeal to hygiene students and practicing hygienists.
