Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Katherine Kling, DVM (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
Description: This fundamental book in veterinary dentistry has an intentionally broad scope as there are other books that go into more depth on specific topics. When originally published in 1997 by Dr. Robert Wiggs and Dr. Heidi Lobrpise, this was one of the first veterinary dentistry textbooks This new edition honors the late Dr. Wiggs in the title.
Purpose: The purpose is to cover the essentials of veterinary small animal dentistry, with chapters written by experts in their topics. Examples include the chapter on traumatic dentoalveolar injuries by Dr. Soukoup, the chapter on crowns and prosthodontics by Drs. Coffman and Visser, and the chapter on small mammal oral and dental diseases by Dr. Legendre. This book will continue to be a valuable resource and is already listed as required reading for dentistry residents by the American Veterinary Dentistry College.
Audience: The audience is veterinary dentistry residents and those preparing to specialize or pursue board specialization through the American Veterinary Dentistry College. The book also would be a valuable resource for general practitioners with a special interest in dentistry and fourth-year veterinary students studying dentistry. This book serves this purpose well. For the most part, the outdated term "man" to imply both men and women has been replaced with the term "human," but this is not the case in the first chapter, which risks giving the book an outdated feel in contrast to the excellent update this edition actually represents.
Features: The book covers advanced dentistry including anatomy, imaging, trauma, endodontics, periodontics, regional anesthesia, oral surgery, and exotic and small mammal dentistry. As it has about 500 pages, the coverage of each of these topics is limited in depth. There are entire books on these individual topics including dental radiography, maxillofacial surgery, and regional anesthesia. This book is to be a starting point for those beginning specialization in the field and a reference for readers for whom specialization is not the goal but who still require accurate and up-to-date information in this specialty. Chapters on anesthesia and pain management, oral and maxillofacial tumors, cysts, and tumor-like lesions, and traumatic dentoalveolar injuries are excellent additions. One chapter lists dental formulas and eruption tables for numerous exotic species. Omitting some outdated material, such as bleaching teeth for esthetic reasons, is also an improvement.
Assessment: There is not another book like this one that covers this range of topics in veterinary dentistry. While individual topics are covered in greater detail in other books, the balance of breadth and depth of topics in this book is not duplicated elsewhere. This edition, compared to the 1997 edition, has excellent updates in references, images, and information regarding neoplasia.
