 Good GP Text, December 15, 2013
By MrSourdough

This text is good for the dental student and general practitioner. Outdated implant section, but that is not the focus of this book. It provides a basic overview of full scope oral surgery operations, but target audience is dental students and general practitioners, not the OS resident. I read this book cover to cover as a dental student and for those pursuing a residency it is a good text to finish before starting Peterson's two volume.

The book is extremely well organized, thoughtful, mostly evidence based and sometimes inflected with personal opinion based on the authors years of experience. The references are extensive. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The writing and photos were excellent. If you need one Oral Surgery text, this is it.
