A Manual for Dental Volunteers

This manual is produced by the ADA as a guide to those dedicated professionals that volunteer to assist the people in resource poor countries. Australians have a record to be proud of as providers of services, infrastructure and materials, and teaching in the Pacific basin and beyond. This manual is the work of an ADA Special Purpose Committee of Dental Volunteers. However, you will identify the writing as reflective of the style of Jamie Robertson, who brings a wealth of experience and considerable wisdom to this subject.
