Hi- I’m considering transitioning into education at a dental school and would like to find a good online resource site or even some textbooks that would provide a good comprehensive refresher for a lot of concepts, terminology, step by step procedures for the scope of general dentistry.

I feel like most of my adult patients I see either big class 2's that could be crowns, or crowns on molars. I also k ..read more
