One of my new favourite blogs is micrognome written by Tim Inglis. His writing about all things microbial and his writing is superb.
He has placed on Google Documents a set of notes for a talk he is giving to UWA Dental undergraduates later in the year. (The UWA Rural Clinical School sends a dentist and student out to us several times a year). The topic covers what you would frequently see in remote clinics.
You can enlarge the slide show and fast forward the slides.
