This book brings dental research one step closer. Particularly indicated for dental students or postgraduate students approaching the world of dental research for the first time.
Basic concepts are made clear thorough simple and useful examples. The book covers the following topics:
- Basic and advanced bench research
- Non-bench research (lit review, meta-analysis, etc)
- Clinical research
- Basic concept of statistical analysis with examples
All in all it is a useful and concise book. Four star, because of the price (cheaper and equally good alternative are available).
