The Basic Guide to Dental Instruments provides a working inventory of dental instrumentation in common use in dentalsurgeries. A clear photograph of each instrument is included, and described according to name, usage, any relevant features andvarieties. Each section is dedicated to a specific discipline or division of dentistry. Complete set-ups have been included at the end of most sections for various procedures. The coverage reflects instrumentation and accessory items used in general dentalpractice, routine hospital dental procedures and selected specialist settings. The author adopts a flexible approach which recognises that some instruments are multi-functional, and their names and usage can vary across dental surgeries. This approach, coupled with the range of instruments covered, makes the book an ideal 'portable' resource across general practice, hospital and a range of specialist settings. The book also highlights instruments which can be easily confused. In addition to detailing the classic sets of dental instruments, the importance of instrument care and sterilisation regimes is acknowledged. This second edition contains an expanded chapter on instruments used in conjunction with dental implants, and illustrations have been updated throughout. Author Information Carmen Scheller-Sheridan is a Tutor in Dental Nursing at the Dublin Dental School & Hospital, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. She is responsible for the National Dental Nurse Training Programme of Ireland and author of the Basic Guide to Dental Materials.
