CRC VET DENTIST PDF

Preface

I hope that the contents of this book will be a true reflection of its title. This text was written to give you, the reader, whether you are a keen final-year student, a resident, a practitioner, or a board-certified specialist, an opportunity to assess your knowledge of veterinary dentistry, based on a series of well-illustrated questions. Hopefully, it will stimulate your interest and promote further study. The book should be used in combination with standard dentistry textbooks; it is not intended to substitute any of them, and by no means should this book be seen as a stand-alone volume. If, at the end of an evening, having gone through a few questions, you find your desk covered with half a dozen opened veterinary and human dental textbooks, and several article reprints scattered in between, I will have achieved my goal!

Care has been taken to ensure that the material presented is informative and factually correct. However, the format of the book does not allow in-depth discussion of the various nuances that may exist and be applicable to a clinical case. Equally, the random nature of the questions and the limited volume of this book do not allow a systematic and comprehensive review of the subject matter. Although I recognize these shortcomings, I urge the reader to see beyond the limitations of the format and use this book to explore the fascinating world of veterinary dentistry.
