The 10th edition of this textbook has been carefully revised and updated and features a new chapter, on teeth whitening. The format remains the same, including the box in each chapter discussing ethical issues that present themselves in practice. Each chapter contains numerous boxes with key words, factors to teach the patient, key issues, and lists of information, as well as numerous tables. The information is presented in outline form, with much of the text presented as bulleted lists. A table of contents is included at the beginning of each chapter and a bibliography at the end. The volume is thorough in its coverage of all aspects of the practice, including the office, billing, infection control, assessment, prevention, and evaluation and maintenance.
