I do not know of any other book that covers this number of different appliances with such good descriptions.”  (\u003ci\u003eDoody’s\u003c\/i\u003e, 13 December 2013)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“I found this book largely beneficial as it is not profusely technical and so is easily understood by the general dental audience. The proof of the success of the book is very much evident in the ‘test yourself’ sections.
