Rezensionen

Although this book will also be useful for veterinarians, its best feature is that it was written to provide various task-related details that are specifically inclusive of veterinary technicians and nurses and emphasizes how they can use their skills at every step.... The flow, chapter and section headings, and overall organization of the text are top-notch and make the book easy to read. I highly recommend this textbook for any veterinary professional (including veterinary and veterinary technician students) who wants to enhance their knowledge regarding the standard of care in veterinary dentistry.
