Main description:

In an area of growing interest to veterinarians, this is 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-color photos, imaging and diagrams-provide a critically important complement to the text.

The color handbook, now with revised text and references, offers real-life insights into the progression of oral disease and has been welcomed as a working resource by veterinary practitioners and students, and as a valuable review by more advanced veterinary dentists.
