A valuable tool for introducing students to the dental field, Kindle/Dofka's DENTAL TERMINOLOGY, 4th Edition, lays the foundation needed to advance in dental assistant studies. Teaching students how to break down, use and pronounce dental terms, it takes an innovative new word-building approach to help dental assistants understand and remember terminology better than ever before. Instead of a strict dictionary of dental terms, the text serves as a word bank with pronunciation guides and definitions applied to practice areas. Chapters are organized by specialty area, enabling readers to quickly find the information they need. The new edition has been thoroughly updated with current visuals, pictures and diagrams. Whether learning in the classroom or on the job, this easy-to-use reference is an ideal resource dental professionals can use for years to come.
