Veterinaria

PresentazioneNegli ultimi venti anni, la nostra professione ha assistito alla trasformazione dell’odontoiatria veterinaria da una fase rudimentale di prestazione dei servizi dentali ad una fase molto avanzata di arte e scienza. Poiché sia la professione veterinaria sia la clientela hanno riconosciuto questa tendenza, la richiesta di una cura dentale sempre più completa è cresciuta in maniera quasi esponenziale. Questo accresciuto interesse per l’odontoiatria veterinaria ha favorito il fiorire di molti seminari e testi sull’argomento.Una delle difficoltà incontrate dai veterinari che vogliono arricchire la propria professione con l’offerta di un più completo servizio odontoiatrico riguarda il modo in cui iniziare. Soprattutto per la rapida crescita della disciplina, c’è stata la tendenza a focalizzare l’attenzione e lo studio sulla fisiopatologia importante delle malattie dentarie piuttosto che sull’aspetto pratico di come procurarsi le apparecchiature e i materiali appropriati per curarle.Chiunque stia pensando di migliorare e accrescere le proprie competenze e abilità in odontoiatria veterinaria troverà preziose le informazioni contenute in questo testo. L’autore non ha dato nulla per scontato per colmare il divario tra i servizi odontoiatrici limitati e quelli avanzati.Questo testo di odontoiatria veterinaria per cani e gatti risolve il problema della scarsa dimestichezza dei termini e delle procedure odontoiatriche da parte del neofita. Grazie a questo testo, il lettore imparerà a realizzare un ambulatorio odontoiatrico efficiente e ad eseguire molte delle procedure richieste quotidianamente per elevare le proprie competenze e abilità professionali.È davvero un grande onore avere avuto l’incarico di scrivere la Presentazione per un testo che si occupa di un argomento a me così caro. Mi congratulo col Dr. Bellows per la perseveranza e il grande impegno che ha profuso nella realizzazione di questo testo.Dr. Thomas W. Mulligan, D.V.M.Diplomate, American Veterinary Dental College
