List of handbooks recommended for the dentists preparing for LDEK

Important! The list is intended to assist dentists graduated from Polish medical universities after studies in English in their preparations for taking LDEK. The list is not an indication of handbooks that must be used at universities. It does not limit the sources for questions either.
