A Colour Handbook

In an area of growing interest to veterinarians, the authors have produced a rapid reference to the practical clinical aspects of small animal dentistry. The text is arranged to reflect the clinician’s thinking and approach to problems: background information, clinical relevance, key points, differential diagnoses, diagnostic tests, and management. Some 400 top-quality illustrations—colour photos, imaging and diagrams— provide a critically important complement to the text.

The colour handbook offers real-life insights into the progression of oral disease and will be welcomed as a working resource by veterinary practitioners and students, and as a valuable review by more advanced veterinary dentists.
