Clinical Problem Solving in Orthodontics and Paediatric Dentistry Text and Evolve eBooks Package


I personally like the approach of clinical-case based textbooks and
find them much easier to learn from as the information is presented in a
realistic situation.
This book is very easy-to-read, its small
brief sections of introduction, medical history, and investigations
makes for easy, logical reading. The way the text asks and then answers a
question is for me an excellent way to learn as it simulates what
clinical staff may ask the student in this situation.
The mind
maps, I think, are also a particularly good feature of the book and
unique in my experience. Most people choose to make things like this
when they revise anyway so its handy to have the information required
all linked together already.
This book is suitable for
undergraduate students as it is useful book for general revision
(patients invariably will fall into one of the categories covered), viva
exams and unseen 'finals cases' - many students find this type of book
(and especially Clinical Problem Solving by Odell) particularly useful
as the theories and methods can be applied to a real life case. The book
may also be relevant inexperienced clinicians as a reference text.
This
is a book I would have never bothered looking at in a bookstore,
proving the rule that you should never judge a book by its cover;
however, after reading it for this review I can say that is has made
orthodontics infinitely more appealing. Orthodontics is a subject so
baffling that I wouldn't learn it unless I had to, but here the cases
are worked through methodically and logically. I will certainly be
recommending this text to other students.

This book should give almost all graduates a good grounding in these important areas!
Mr Ray Reed, Consultant Orthodontic Surgeon, North Hampshire Hospital, Basingstoke, UK
The
book is relevant to curricular, certainly from the undergraduate and
postgraduate paediatric dentistry perspective.. all the paediatric
dentistry and combined clinical problems are ones that our
undergraduates are expected to have knowledge and understanding of, as
well as (we hope) to have encountered them either through clinical
'hands-on', observational or simulated (seminar) experience.
The
philosophy of the book is highly appropriate. The holistic
paedodontic/orthodontic approach to managing child patients is key and
well illustrated in the problems used in the book. The options and
justifications for treatment are the main 'chapter outcomes' with
thorough discussion of their advantages and disadvantages given. This is
an important learning feature for the undergraduate as one of their
many roles in general practice will be to be able to explain these
treatment options to their patients as part of a process of referral for
specialist care. The content of the mind maps helps to ensure
inclusiveness and inter-disciplinary revision when students are using
them to consolidate their knowledge and understanding.
