"This Atlas constitutes a new and valuable contribution to the literature of Veterinary Dentistry. It is not a textbook; rather it uses a wide spectrum of well-organized visual material to clearly explain different pathologies in dogs.
The Spanish author has selected well-known international collaborators to contribute to a comprehensive range of high-quality visual material comprising almost 400 pictures arranged on more than 100 pages. The chapters and pages are laid out in a clear and interesting format that communicate information effectively and retain the reader's interest on a voyage of discovery.
The overall organization in terms of etiology, clinical, and diagnostic features together with well-labeled diagrams and illustrations is a format that allows the reader to quickly delve down to whatever level of detail is required. In particular, the juxtaposition of different visual formats provides a multidimensional insight. For example, well-selected clinical photographs and matching radiographs highlight the value of radiography in diagnosis.
The Atlas is both a well-conceived idea and a well-executed project. This one book has such broad coverage of dental pathologies in dogs that it constitutes a uniquely valuable addition to the library of any veterinary surgeon."
