I got this guide in a pack of books (Modern Dental Assisting 8th edition) It was the hard cover, workbook, and flip guide. This pack is amazing!!!!

Well worth purchasing the flip guide on its own..... A must have for studying..

This spiral-bound text contains some of the most often-used dental instruments, brilliantly illustrated and explained clearly. It's an effective tool in understanding their uses and design. Since there is such a dizzying array of instruments, a guide like this is invaluable.

If you are new to the business of dentistry, a student of dental assisting or even a dental office this book is for you.
