This revision aid is aimed at trainee dental nurses wishing to sit the biannual National Examination in Dental Nursing. It includes questions on legislation covering Health and Safety in the surgery, cross-infection, and the non-surgical role of the dental nurse, as well as all the purely dental subjects. Detailed and explanatory answers to all the questions are provided and examples showing how to answer all the written sections of the examination are set out, including the use of diagrammatic answers where appropriate. The book should also be a useful self-assessment guide for trainee dental nurses following other courses besides the National Examination, such as the S/NVQ, and those pursuing access to registration (ART).
