Reviews
"The authors are to be congratulated on a much
revised text that will continue the tradition of the Oral
Microbiology textbook as one of the leaders in its field." -
Dental Update, March 2000
"When a book appears in its
fourth edition you can be sure it is a good, popular read; this
book, whilst being easy to read and assimilate nevertheless carries
very important messages about the complex relationship between oral
micro-flora and the host, in health and disease. It is aimed at
dental professionals, other clinical dental professionals, dental
under and post-graduate students, microbiologists and research
workers...
If you qualified some years ago this book will
bring you up to date with current thinking in the vital area of Oral
Microbiology." - The General Dental Practitioner, March
2000
