Descripción

Dental Emergencies
The dental emergency clinic is an important area for any dental service. Such departments are usually staffed by clinicians with a variety of backgrounds and levels of experience. This book does not attempt to be exhaustive but is a guide to help clinicians with the management of the wide variety of patients that may present. An attempt is made, where appropriate, to place patient management in an academic context.
