Don't waste your time with this DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! I started to use this book as a review for my NBDE part 1. One of the only good aspects of this book is the charts in the microbio section. Also, it has a very detailed index so it made looking up a topic easy. Other than that, there are glaring errors in this book. It's incredibly hard to follow. The pictures in it are useless. You'll just end up looking at an atlas anyways. It's missing a lot of critical information that I think is important to know for part one. Everyone in my dental class had the exact same opinion of this book. We all thought we wasted our money! Honestly, I ended up getting Board Busters for NBDE part 1. It was so much better. More organized, well written, concise, and not as many errors (there are a few which is given with any source). Not many people know about it because it's a new source. But definitely worth buying over First Aid and Decks!!! Dental Board Busters NBDE Part I, Second Edition | ||
good inspite of mistakes This review book has more mistakes than any book I've ever opened up. Yet, I do recommend this book to review the material for the boards. Most mistakes are spelling mistakes which aren't terrible. But there are also numerous mistakes that give false information. But since it is a review book, these mistakes should be obvious to someone who has been taught the material in the first 2 years of dental school. The notes on the sides of the pages are very useful. Some things are repetitive in a way that it helps to remember them. I really like the style the book is written and how the various sub topics are split up. | ||
Book is full of errors This book (2nd ed.) is generally a good overview of topics you should know for part 1. But it has many errors which make me question the validity of the material presented (are there more errors that I'm not catching?) There are numerous typos including "adduction" instead of "abduction;" page 88 shows a figure of a heart with transposition of the great vessels; however the figure is presented as a normal heart. page 173 says the outer cortex of lymph nodes have germinal nodes containing T cells. this is wrong. The germinal follicles actually contain proliferating B cells; T cells are found scattered in the deep cortical zone (paracortex) on page 174 it says FSH stimulates lactogenesis (milk production), this is not true; milk production is stimulated by prolactin. definitely read some "real" books before you pick up this one. I hope they fix these glitches in the 3rd ed. | ||
Board review This book gives you a great start in preparation for NBDE Part I. There are helpful side notes and charts that aid in memorization. | ||
OK for a comprehensive review Since there are not many comprehensive NBDE Part 1 review books out there, this book is good for providing an outline on what to study. You definitely need to look up more information to fully learn the material, as some subjects are only touched on, and some information is left out. There are some annoying things: a good amount of typos, and the writers tend to use their own acronyms without explaining what they are. It's almost like you're reading someone's notes from class that made sense to the person who took the notes, but not to you. | ||
