It must have seemed like a good idea to have all of Prosthodontics together in one book. It would need to be a good-sized book with space for all the pictures and procedures involved in Prosthodontics. The text would have to elaborate on certain points and explain important areas but also discuss controversial issues. It would be useful if it included an evidence base to the work quoted. This is in the realms of possibility but then, when you are asked to put the whole of Prosthodontics into an A4 book format of 126 pages, it is going to be a tall order.
Prosthodontics at a Glance is part of a series of books which takes a specialized dental topic and provides an overview. Its appeal is to people who do not have time to read detail but want the information quickly as a revision aide-mémoire for examinations.
My major concern is with the format of the book as a large volume of information has to be crammed into a small space. The result is a great deal of text, which contains highlighted keywords with no space for discussion. It becomes nothing more than a shopping list.
