Professor Liz Kay, foundation dean of the Peninsula Dental School at Plymouth University and a nationally recognised dental public health expert, has edited Dentistry at a Glance, the central title in the At a Glance series for dental students published by Wiley.
Included in the book are contributions from her colleagues at Plymouth University Peninsula School of Dentistry including Ian Mills, Professor David Moles, Robert Witton, Kamran Ali, Malcolm Bruce and Matthew Jerreat.
Dentistry at a Glance leads readers through what is required by the General Dental Council of dental learning, from the principles of core issues such as patient confidentiality and taking a patient history, to diagnosis and treatment in key clinical areas. These include medical emergencies, endodontics, dental trauma, oral medicine and pathology, the medically compromised patient and orthodontics.
The book also includes sections on oral healthcare issues and crucial practical guidance on running a dental practice.
According to the publisher, Wiley, Dentistry at a Glance is, “a concise and accessible introduction to the study of dentistry, as well as a useful revision guide for newly qualified dentists developing their careers.”
Professor Liz Kay commented: “We are confident that we have produced a really useful resource for undergraduates and the recently qualified in dentistry. We have drawn on the knowledge and expertise of respected dental practitioners, academics and theorists, not just from Plymouth University but also from around the world, and I am greatly thankful to them for their input and support.”
