Abstract

A new volume in the successful revision guide series – Master Dentistry - which offers a concise text covering the essentials of oral biology with accompanying self-assessment questions and model answers.

    • Quick reference revision aid for dental students – ideal for exam preparation!
    • Covers the ‘essentials’ of the subject to a level that is expected with the GDC’s curriculum outlined in the First Five Years document.
    • Each chapter provides a brief overview of the topic and lists the essential learning objectives for that area of study.
    • Presents key anatomical, biochemical and physiological material in a useful, integrated, clinically relevant format.
    • Includes extensive self-testing material – true false questions, extended matching questions, picture questions, and essay questions – enabling readers to assess their knowledge and perfect exam techniques.
    • Contains unique, ‘mind-map’ summary sheets to provide crucial information in a pictorial format to further promote learning.
