Review
All in all, a well-put-together, easy-to-read book and valuable to anyone in the field of orthodontics. --Jim Donaldson, - The GDP, October 2004
This book would be an excellent addition to anyone's professional library, and I heartily recommend it. --Kevin J. Hanley, DDS, - NYSDJ, June/July 2004
Focusing on clinical mistakes rather than legal aspects, this book of nearly 250 pages, which is well-illustrated throughout, covers all the areas that could be thought obvious, such as damage to tooth-supporting tissues in orthodontics and some not so obvious ones such as toxicity of additives and enamel colour alterations associated with orthodontics. This may well be the definitive text on risk and risk avoidance in orthodontics. --Roger Farbey, - BDA News, Vol 17, No 12, December 2004
