Doody's Reviews

A core reference that presents the science of microbiology in a clinical context that is relevant to the safe and effective practice of dental surgery. Microbiology is of immense importance to dentists and this resource helps to make the subject accessible and relevant for both students and those in clinical practice.

A number of infectious diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and SARS have emerged as significant clinical problems. There have also been changes in the epidemiology of certain infections. Essentials of Microbiology for Dental Students has been updated to address these issues and changes to antimicrobial drug prescribing regimens have been included. Major new chapters include those on fungi, human herpes viruses, infections of the central nervous system and use of antimicrobial agents in dentistry.

Features:

  • • Three sections covering the fundamental principles: microbiology and immunology, infectious diseases relevant to dentistry and oral microbiology
  • • A "Key Facts" summary for each chapter
  • • A comprehensive glossary of medical, dental and biological terms
