This is a very thorough book for all clinicians. It explains the theory of anesthetic action, covers the various types of anesthetics - and their various formulations. It describes various anesthetic techniques in excellent detail. The DVD is a great addition, to be able to see the techniques and anatomical landmarks. additionally, I found several new techniques that I have had good success with. I recommend this book for the student, new clinician, as well as a valuable review for experienced clinicians

Customer Rating:
The best handbook of modern dental local anesthesia I have read. A couple years ago - the former edition - became as a basic curriculum for the teachbook written by myself for students and dentists in Czech Republic - (it was sold out during few months). Many congratulations to author Mr. Malamed! V. Scigel,MD,PhD

Customer Rating:
I am in dental practice for 50 years, this book brings one up to date with a bang, even up to Articaine. Excellent, covers all from seating patient to dismissing the patient, in case one has forgotten something.

Good textbook; but not easy to read
Customer Rating:
This book is a decent text however it's not an easy read. I had to reread some parts to totally get the concept. It's not the worst textbook I have ever been assigned thought.
