This reference manual caters for all aspects of dental assisting. It supports and is aligned to important Australian government standards including the National Competency Standards part of the recently endorsed Health Training Package; NHMRC Guidelines for Infection Control; Occupational Health & Safety Standards put down by Worksafe Australia and Australian/New Zealand Standards 4815 'Office base health care facilities not involved in Complex Patient Procedures & Processes'. Adherence to these standards ensures that this is not only a valuable reference for students, it can be also be used right across Australia and New Zealand as a reference tool in any dental surgeries, clinics or laboratories. The Dental Assistants Manual is intended to provide the required knowledge for achieving the newly endorsed National Competency Standards for the Certificate III in Dental Assisting endorsed by ANTA (Australian National Training Authority) in January 2002, which forms the basis for further study in Certificate IV courses in areas such as Dental Technology, Dental Health Education, Dental Assisting - Radiology and Dental Technician. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to carry out certain practical components and requirements of the competencies. No other reference tool in Australia or New Zealand addresses any of the implications of these standards for dental assistants in the workplace.

Reviews for Manual of Dental Assisting (4th Edition)

Self-deception can have an enormous impact on individual and social behavior and international relations. In examining this impact, Harry Triandis has applied his uniquely broad perspective and wealth of knowledge to some of the most important issues of our time, analyzing the role of self-deception in religious, political and cultural ideologies. This ground-breaking book, by one of the world's foremost scholars in cultural and cross-cultural psychology, is essential reading for both social scientists and nonprofessionals concerned with the present and future of the society in which they live. -Robert S. Wyer, Jr. Professor of Marketing, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
