"Another handy, plastic-covered pocketbook from Churchill Livingstone, this is primarily – but not exclusively – aimed at dental students. It is a comprehensive book and just as useful for more-recently qualified dentists and can be used as a revision text for experienced dentists." --BDA News, Vol 20, no 10, October 2007

"This book is very good for new dental students starting out. It’s a great help to me! --RL Burgess, 1st year Dental Student, Ireland, 2 April 2009 5 stars on Amazon

"The Churchill’s Pocketbook of Clinical Dentistry is brilliant – far better than the Oxford Handbook! --St John Crean, Robert Bradlaw Advisor, RCS Eng. [personal communication]

"The content of the Churchill book is far more relevant and detailed than the OUP book and covers a wider range of topics.

Curriculum coverage? If this volume is indeed aimed at dental students, and recently graduated GDP’s, than the book is extremely relevant and manages to cover a wide range of topics in adequate detail." --Sarah Kaddour, ST1, Oral Medicine

"I think the book is completely relevant to the undergraduate dental curriculum as it prepares you well for the final exams – and this is what everything should be geared towards. It ticks all the boxes and is obviously a well thought out book in that respect.

The book keeps true to the pocketbook style and covers all key areas of clinical dentistry well, so I really cannot fault it on its approach or philosophy.

It is easy to read as it is logically ordered into headings and subheadings. The paper used is high quality and makes the text easier to read against the white background. The diagrams are great and are the best factor in helping the understanding of the text.

When comparing topics across the Oxford Handbook and the Churchill book, I find that the latter has slightly better content coverage both in terms of learning and understanding. The book also has great diagrams, so keep them coming!" --Jasneet Gulati, 5^th year BDS student, Sheffield

"The book is completely relevant to the curriculum and follows and picks up on the basic themes that are outlined in the ‘First 5 years’ as set out by the GDC and expands on most of the information too. It doesn’t provide any overly abstract information that could be detrimental to students but rather provides a suitable base for anyone to pick up information.

The Churchill book is really expansive in terms of the information it provides and goes into somewhat more detail than the Oxford in its subsections." --Sami Stagnelli, ST3, Oral Medicine
