Modern Dental Assisting, 13th Edition, authored by Doni L. Bird and Debbie S.

Published by Saunders, this volume delivers systematic instruction in chairside assisting, infection prevention, patient communication, and regulatory compliance.

The curriculum spans foundational biomedical sciences, head and neck anatomy, oral embryology, tooth morphology, and preventive dentistry. Core subject areas progress into dental imaging, restorative materials, and specialized clinical branches including periodontics, endodontics, fixed and removable prosthodontics, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery, concluding with business operating systems and financial management.

A primary instructional feature includes procedural steps for general duties and expanded functions using visual color coding and clinical photos, complemented by approximately 1,730 full-color illustrations.
