Primary Preventive Dentistry
6th Edition
by Norman O. Harris and Franklin García-Godoy
Website author Dr. Norman O. Harris
Welcome to the online study guide designed to accompany Primary Preventive Dentistry, 6/e by Norman O. Harris and Franklin García-Godoy. This website is a free auxillary to the textbook, providing students and instructors with an interactive teaching and learning tool. Here you will find review exercises based on the content of this exciting text. This web site features true/false, fill-in-the-blank and essay questions. At the completion of each true/false question you may submit your answers to receive an instant feedback as a computer marked score. For the fill-in-the blank and essay questions, especially the latter, the great number of possible correct answers not necessarily in the computer memory bank, makes it impossible to achieve accurate machine marking. To provide feedback for these kinds of questions, there will be a suggested school solution returned to you with which you can compare your answers.
You will also find essays which discuss future trends related to the content of each chapter. A glossary is also included, as well as a link to our Dentistry news feed feature updated daily by the New York Times.
Finally, we encourage those instructors interested in developing distance learning courses to explore the site's Syllabus feature.
To get started, simply select a chapter from the menu bar on the top left of the page, or click on one of the chapters titles below. Good luck!
