The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dentistry and Oral Surgery has been fully revised and updated to include the most relevant, evidence-based, step-by-step operative techniques, and full-colour illustrations and photographs.
Alexander Reiter and Margherita Gracis formed the new editorial team and selected an international collection of authors that are known leaders and experienced professionals in their fields of expertise to contribute to this latest edition.
“This is a timely publication, as veterinary dentistry is a field that continues to grow in importance for the general veterinary practitioner. We found it important to add ‘Oral Surgery’ to this new edition, as many procedures performed in and around the mouth involve surgical techniques,” the editors explained.
The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dentistry and Oral Surgery, 4th edition, is an accessible source of core information for general small animal veterinary surgeons, nurses/technicians and students interested in developing their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in dentistry and oral surgery.
The manual is now available from the BSAVA website (www.bsava.com/shop), the BSAVA Library (www.bsavalibrary.com/manuals), or by phone: 01452 726700. Review copies are available upon request, please email Ian Mellor at publications@bsava.com - Contact: 01452 726718
