exactly what it says - text book for dental field. Great shape came fast, November 30, -0001
By Lynn K

A good textbook for dental students. It was in great shape and arrived really fast. It did have a bit of the hard to find information I was looking for. Unfortunately, the info I am looking for is not readily available. I think the info I am looking for is covered in labs and classes rather than in books. It helped and was written clearly. Lots of clear info well organized.
