This text was required for the Century College Dental Assisting program. Thankfully, they keep the same 2 books the entire 2 years of the program. However, both Modern Dental Assisting and this book (we call it Delmar) have basically the same information. MDA is easier to read, has more step-by-step procedures detailed out with photos and is the primary choice for all of the subjects we cover. This text does a better job of detailing the contents of dental cements, but in the end it is more important we know how to mix these cements then know all the ingredients they contain. I sincerely wish the professors could get permission to take what few chapters they feel Delmar does a better job of covering, put them in a binder and let us use that instead of each of us purchIDg this book that we mostly ignore. If I did not know about MDA, this book would be fine but since I do know about Modern Dental Assisting, this book is just collecting dust.

Very good book, has pretty much everything in it I needed. I have been a DA already however had been out of it a while when my son past away. I felt I needed to be refreshed before going back and this helped me a lot.

Good condition
