"General Medicine and Surgery for Dental Practitioners is a book useful to all practitioners, helping them to better recognize and treat patients with certain conditions that can lead to true complications in combination with dental treatments. It is written in an easy way and is accompanied by numerous images to facilitate understanding." (Iulia Ciolachi, Stomatology EDU Journal, Vol. 7 (2), 2020)
