Modern Dental Assisting 13th Edition Pdf Book Description:

Congratulations on your choice in a career in dental assisting! When Hazel O. Torres and Ann Ehrlich published the first edition of Modern Dental Assisting in 1976, their intent was to provide dental assisting students and educators with the most comprehensive textbook ever for dental assisting education. It provided the background, principles, and techniques necessary to become an educationally qualified and competent dental assistant. Since then, continuing changes have taken place in the profession of dental assisting. It is now recognized that oral health and general health are interwoven and that people cannot be healthy without good oral health. Advances in scientific research, the prevention of oral diseases, emerging technology, and regulatory changes have significantly influenced the evolving roles and responsibilities of the professional dental assistant. In the 13th edition of Modern Dental Assisting, we uphold the same core educational values and goals instilled in us by Hazel Torres and Ann Ehrlich. However, the knowledge and skills necessary to reach competency in each of the many new techniques and procedures are constantly being expanded.

Chapters are revised to reflect changes resulting from evidence based research, the increasing use of digital imaging, advancement of dental materials, and advances in technology that have allowed new clinical functions to be delegated to dental assistants in certain states and provinces. Every effort is made to create a balance toretain foundational knowledge while incorporating the most current principles and procedures to remain on the cutting edge of dental assisting practice today. Our team of authors and editors continuously listen to dental assisting educators and students throughout the United States and Canada and has responded to their requests. Our reviewers, who represent a diverse community of dental assisting educators throughout North America and Canada, have helped us ensure inclusion of the most current knowledge. Whether you are a new student to dental assisting, preparing for your state or national certification examination, or expanding your role in this profession, Modern Dental Assisting will provide you with the tools and resources to move forward. Modern Dental Assisting is the learning package for preparing students to become dental assistants. It provides a solid foundation for the basic and advanced clinical skills students must master to achieve competence. The layout is student-friendly to simplify even the most complex concepts and procedures to help prepare for Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) certification. The interactive portion of this learning package offers exercises for the immediate application of knowledge to help the student develop and retain critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The Interactive Dental Office is built around 25 in-depth patient case studies with questions, charting and tooth-numbering exercises, and radiographic mounting exercises to help students assimilate content from various chapters and apply it in a realistic, patient-centered setting. A content mapping guide indicates the corresponding chapter to each activity for every patient.
