AAPD goes mobile with pediatric dentistry handbook

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) has released the fourth edition of the Handbook of Pediatric Dentistry.

This comprehensive resource for pediatric and general dentists is now available electronically with an enclosed CD-ROM with mobile application login information (compatible with iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch or Android mobile devices), according to the organization.

This fourth edition features additional changes to make it more user-friendly and provides readers with additional resources beyond the pages of this book, including the following:

• Chapters have been reviewed and updated to provide essential information more relevant to a ready-reference text.
• Some new sections have been added, such as obesity, and new authors who are experts in their fields contributed to this edition.
• An emphasis has been made on clinical procedures and recommendations where they exist, and they have been identified with boxes or shading.
• Algorithms have been updated to facilitate clinical care.
• The resource chapter at the end of the book has been updated to provide additional information that is often needed in the clinical practice of pediatric dentistry.
• In many cases, tables and prescription information are noted in the chapter's table of contents.

The Handbook of Pediatric Dentistry is available to members for $79.99 and nonmembers for $99.99, plus shipping and handling. Visit the AAPD website to place an order online.
