Book Reviews of Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Dental Hygiene, 6e
Book Review: Wonderful study guide
Summary: 5 Stars
Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Dental Hygiene is an excellent resource for people studying for their dental hygienist national board exams. This guide also effectively correlates the information in the guide to real-life practice situations, so it is pragmatic as well as theoretical.
The text is clear and well written; the illustrations are high quality, providing a significant amount of close detail; and the sample test questions provide excellent insight into the types of questions that dental hygienists will need to answer on their national boards. Students can then self-evaluate their progress and their understanding of the material presented.
Because the national board testing focuses strongly on problem-solving skills of the test taker, it's wonderful to see a test guide also focus on those skills - both on what is needed and what needs further developed to find success.
We applaud the additional information provided on ethical and legal matters, as well as the updated safety information. The Internet resources provided in the text allow students to gather additional relevant information on a wide range of topics important to dental hygienists.
We recommend that dental hygienist students use Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Dental Hygiene as their national board preparatory tool. The price is quite reasonable when considering the wealth of information being provided.
Summary of Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Dental Hygiene, 6e
Now in full color, Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Dental Hygiene is an easy-to-use study aid for the national board exam. A full mock examination at the end of the book includes representative cases with answers and rationales for every question so readers can evaluate how well they've learned the material before they take the real exam. This edition includes two new chapters on General Anatomy and Physiology and General Pathology, to ensure that readers have a solid understanding of these sciences that are the foundation of oral anatomy and pathology. Additional information on ethical, legal, and safety issues is incorporated throughout to provide a better understanding of how these aspects of practice relate to each chapter topic. References have also been updated, putting the most current resources at the reader's fingertips for more relevant supplemental learning.- Easy-to-use outline format makes it an essential study aid.
- Questions based on case studies prepare readers for the case-based questions found on the national board exam.
- Introductory paragraphs at the beginning of chapters address the relevance of each chapter's subject to professional practice and key topics to focus on when studying.
- Practice test that is structured like the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination simulates actual experience of taking boards.
- Sources for chapters listed at end of every chapter provide resources that will reflect current theory, practice standards, and research findings.
- New chapter on General Anatomy gives an overview of the body's structure and function for a better understanding of how problems in one body system can affect the rest of the body.
- Added chapter on General Pathology describes disease development and includes a discussion on the process of inflammation and the genetic basis of disease.
- Full-color design shows greater detail in photos and illustrations for more comprehensive learning.
- Detailed information on legal/ethical/safety issues incorporated throughout shows how these issues can fit into their everyday practice, rather than thinking of them as separate elements of hygiene practice.
- Listings of websites within chapters offer current information on important developments in dental hygiene topics.
- New chapter review questions at the end of most chapters.
